Buddy Hield and Jonathan Kuminga combined for 50 points off the bench, propelling the Golden State Warriors to a 127-121 overtime win over the Houston Rockets on Saturday. The Warriors, now 5-1, secured their third consecutive win despite a massive comeback attempt by the Rockets.
Hield led Golden State with 27 points, hitting six three-pointers, while Kuminga contributed 23 points, including the first two baskets in overtime to put the Warriors ahead. The duo’s bench production filled the scoring gap left by Stephen Curry, who remained sidelined with a sprained left ankle.
