Houston's Late Bucket Ends Stephen Curry's Comeback Party: Warriors Fall to Rockets
Stephen Curry was back on the court. The Warriors had to feel good about that. Then Houston hit a late bucket and everything changed.
The Rockets spoiled Curry's return with a clutch score in the final moments, stealing a win from Golden State and sending the Bay Area home frustrated. It was the kind of gut-punch finish that stings when you're trying to build momentum early in the season.

Getting Curry back in uniform was supposed to be a turning point for the Warriors. The guy can change a game with his gravity alone. But on this night, it wasn't enough to get the job done against a hungry Rockets team that came ready to compete.
Houston Finds a Way
That's the thing about late-season basketball right now. One possession can flip everything. The Rockets made the shot when it mattered most, and that's the difference between celebration and frustration in the Western Conference. Houston walks out with the W, Golden State is left wondering what could have been.
This is the kind of loss that sticks with you early in the season. The Warriors had their guy back. They had the chance to build something. Instead, they're heading into their next games needing to regroup and find their rhythm without letting this one define where they're headed.
