The stars were brightly shining for Golden State in a 116-104 win over Houston on Christmas Day. Guard Damion Lee dropped a double-double with 22 points and a career-high 15 rebounds. Wednesday's outing was his fourth 20-point effort of the season. Lee is averaging 11.7 points in 18 games. However, the Warriors have dropped two straight to Phoenix after winning the previous 18 meetings.
Meanwhile, Phoenix lost 113-111 to Denver. The Suns got a solid performance out of guard Ricky Rubio, who had 21 points and nine assists in addition to seven boards; unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the victory. Devin Booker tied the game at 111 with a three-pointer with 25.5 seconds left but Denver decided the game on the final basket with 3.2 seconds remaining. Cameron Johnson had 11 points and seven rebounds in just 19 minutes while scoring in double figures for the 13th time this season.
The Warriors have only been able to knock down 43.1 percent of their shots, which is the third lowest field goal percentage in the league. But the Suns have allowed their opponents to shoot 48 percent from the floor on average, which is the third highest mark allowed in the NBA.
