The Warriors beat the Houston Rockets in the 2022.01.31.GSW-HOU game, thanks to Steph Curry looking like Steph Curry for the first time in several weeks. But you can find plenty of highlight packages about Steph doing Steph things. I'm going to focus on Moses Moody, the rookie who got his first start.

In the end I thought Moses Moody did okay. Definitely some mistakes on defense, but also some good plays on defense, both one-on-one and in a team context. He hit about half of the wide open threes he got. So we’d take that. And he ran the court really hard and he got the Warriors several advantages, even if he wasn't the one to score.

And he also kept the ball moving. He played the set plays correctly and wasn't a black hole on offense and he swung the ball from one side to the other. The rookie broke even, which is what you want in a game like this. You want someone to eat the minutes. If Moody can hit a lot of the open threes, be a bulldog on on-ball defense, switch well, and stay on the court with good defense, then he can be a role player and contribute. So promising stuff from the young man.

Steph Curry is out tonight in San Antonio. Sitting on the second night of a back-to-back. Warriors will also be without Andrew Wiggins, Otto Porter, Klay Thompson, Andre Iguodala, Draymond Green, Nemanja Bjelica, James Wiseman. Skeleton crew.

Nitpicking: This was Moody’s 2nd start. His other was 12/17/21 vs. Boston.
