The Warriors blew another late lead, ending their dreams of winning the NBA Cup.
Golden State coughed up a six-point lead in the final 2:43 and lost 91-90 to the Houston Rockets in the NBA Cup quarterfinal at Toyota Center.
Steph Curry, who finished with 19 points, had a chance to seal the game in the final seconds, but he missed a 3-pointer. Gary Payton II secured the rebound but a mad scramble ensued as he tried to get the ball to a teammate. The Rockets secured the ball and Jonathan Kuminga fouled Jalen Green.
Green made both free throws to give Houston the lead with 3.1 seconds remaining in regulation. Brandin Podziemski's 3-pointer at the buzzer was blocked, dealing another tough loss to the Warriors, who call to 14-10 this season.
With the loss, the Warriors will host Klay Thompson and the Dallas Mavericks at 5:30 p.m. PT on Sunday.
