The Houston Rockets beat the Golden State Warriors 115-108 on Wednesday, 11 November 2026, at the Toyota Center in Houston — a win shaped by the sight every Warriors fan dreaded, as Stephen Curry left the game after just six minutes.
Curry departed in the first quarter with right abdominal soreness and did not return. He underwent an MRI after the game, but the results were not immediately known, according to Warriors coach Steve Kerr. Golden State played most of the night without its star and saw its eight-game winning streak come to an end.
Sengun nearly posts a triple-double
Alperen Sengun flirted with a triple-double to lead a balanced Houston attack, finishing with 19 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists as the Rockets pulled away in the fourth quarter. Kevin Durant led Houston with 20 points, while Amen Thompson added 19 points and seven rebounds.
The Rockets have now won two games in a row, and the win was a measure of how far their young core has come — beating a red-hot Warriors side even with Durant, not Sengun, topping the scoring chart.
Waiting on Curry’s scan
For Golden State, the result matters less than the injury news. Curry is the engine of everything the Warriors do, and an abdominal problem that forces an MRI will worry fans until the results are known. The team managed to stay competitive without him for three quarters, but Houston’s depth told in the closing minutes.
The Warriors will hope the scan brings good news and a short absence. Until then, the streak is over, the Rockets have a statement win, and the league waits to hear how long its most watchable player will be sidelined.
It was another huge night around the NBA — Paul George torched his former team for 36 points in Boston’s win over Philadelphia — while the Knicks were routing Milwaukee behind Karl-Anthony Towns the night before.
