In a thrilling comeback, Stephen Curry returned to the Golden State Warriors after missing 27 games due to a knee injury, scoring 29 points in 26 minutes against the Houston Rockets. His performance was highlighted by a near-game-winning 30-footer that missed at the buzzer, leading to a 117-116 loss. Curry's night started off rocky with a travel violation, but he quickly found his rhythm, scoring 11 points in both the third and fourth quarters. Warriors coach Steve Kerr praised Curry's performance, noting the challenge of facing a tough defender in Amen Thompson. With only four games remaining in the regular season, the Warriors, currently at 36-42, are poised to make a playoff push, especially with veteran center Al Horford expected to return soon. Curry expressed optimism about his workload for the upcoming game against the Sacramento Kings, emphasizing the urgency of the NBA calendar as the team prepares for potential elimination games in the play-in tournament.
