After eight straight losses away from San Francisco\u2019s Chase Center, the Golden State Warriors have finally secured their first road win of the 2022-23 NBA campaign. However, it didn\u2019t come easy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After jumping out to a commanding lead in the first quarter, Golden State\u2019s struggles on the road began to show. The Warriors\u2019 offense went cold in the second quarter while they spoiled away an 18-point lead. However, the backcourt duo of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson came to the rescue.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thompson put together a much-needed season-high performance with 41 points on 14-of-23 shooting from the field with 10 made triples to go along with four boards and three assists in 36 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Along with hitting seven 3-pointers of his own, Curry recorded a double-double with 33 points and 15 assists. Curry added seven boards and three steals in 37 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the fourth quarter, the Splash Brothers slammed the door on the young Rockets. The pair combined for 18 points in the final frame to secure their elusive road victory, 127-120.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After the Warriors\u2019 snapped their road losing streak, the NBA community on Twitter exploded with reactions. Here\u2019s a look at what fans and analysts were saying on Sunday night.<\/span><\/p>\n
