A shiny NBA Cup and a massive cash prize set the tone for the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets matchup tonight. West Group C is wide open and it would only take a win tonight, or any of the other teams losing, for these two teams to clinch a spot in the Knockout Rounds. Draymond Green is back in the weary Warriors lineup but he and Stephen Curry won’t be having a reunion with their old teammate. Kevin Durant continues to miss a second straight game for personal reasons. For most of the game, the Warriors were in the lead. But things changed in the second half and it was the Houston Rockets who won 100-104. But their win doesn’t put them in the NBA Cup quarterfinals.
