With the chance to extend their home winning streak to 10 games at Chase Center, the Golden State Warriors went to work against the Houston Rockets.
The Warriors ran away from the Rockets with a barrage of 3-pointers. The Warriors drained 25 triples on their way to a 120-101 win on Saturday night. Andrew Wiggins caught fire from deep, matching his career-high with eight made triples on the way to a game-high 36 points in 34 minutes.
Steph Curry also registered 30 points with eight made 3-pointers of his own. Curry recorded a double-double with 10 assists, three boards, a steal and an assist in 35 minutes.
While the Warriors buried 25 3-pointers, the Rockets were ice-cold from beyond the arc, knocking down only three triples on 28 attempts from deep.
Following Golden State’s 10th consecutive win at home, the NBA community on Twitter fired away with reactions on social media. Here’s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on Saturday night.

From @ESPNStatsInfo: Curry and Wiggins are the third pair of teammates to each make eight 3-pointers in the same game in NBA history. Almost surprisingly, they are the first pair to do this in Warriors history.

I’m so glad to have Andrew Wiggins on this Warriors squad.
36 PTS on 14-19 FG and 8-10 3P tonight and we’re not even that much surprised. That’s insane.

The Warriors announcers are upset that this Andrew Wiggins made bucket was ruled a 2-pointer instead of a 3.
The Warriors had gone 15 minutes making only threes, no twos 😂#DubNationpic.twitter.com/jbssNVUWzc

Wiggins shooting is just absurd. Tell anyone 3 years ago he’ll become a consistent volume 40%+ 3pt shooter and you’d be laughed at

Andrew Wiggins. 1st pick of the 2014 NBA draft. 😉

From 3 tonight
*Warriors 25/52
*Rockets 3/28
*Andrew Wiggins 9/11
*Steph Curry 8/17
*Jordan Poole 5/8
*Moses Moody 3/3That massive disparity helped GSW survive an otherwise choppy performance against Houston. Warriors are now 13-11, finish homestand on Monday vs Pacers.
