Steph Curry scores 31 points, Jimmy Butler scores six points in final two minutes to help Rockets survive Game 1.

Stephen Curry scored 31 points and the Golden State Warriors built a huge lead and held on to beat the Houston Rockets 95-85 on Sunday night in Game 1 of the first-round playoff series.

The Rockets are a completely different team now, led by first-round draft picks Jalen Green and Alperen Sengun as well as breakout player Amen Thompson. The Warriors still have Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, but are also led by trade-deadline acquisition Jimmy Butler, a Tomball native.
