Rockets Warriors Basketball

Stephen Curry is back and healthy at long last for the Golden State Warriors, and everyone at Chase Center celebrated the magnitude of the moment right along with him. Coming off the bench in the regular season for the first time in 14 years, Curry was greeted by a warm standing ovation and greetings on the big screen — he also expressed his gratitude on video — when he entered with 4:54 left in the opening quarter against the Houston Rockets on Sunday night. He immediately passed off for an assist on a dunk by Charles Bassey, who had just signed with Golden State earlier in the day. Curry made a 3-pointer with 34 seconds remaining in the period.
