rockets win, 118-112. warriors could never catch up, even without james harden. the warriors have now lost four straight regular season games to houston. >> basically, as great as we've had comebacks, and we understand it's a 48-minute game, you give a team that much confidence, going down 15-0, the way that it happened, we lost the game right there. >> you know, it's human nature. sometimes you let your guard down when things are going well. so maybe this will be a little bit of a wake-up call for all of us to prepare better and be ready. >> but is this lost a little more frustrating, because the rockets are a team that the warriors have had a hard time getting over that hump, or the past two regular seasons? >> yeah, but guess what, we haven't had a tough problem getting over the hump during the playoffs, so i'm not too worried. >> how concerned are you about draymond and if he is out a couple of games, how difficult does that make it for you? >> um, i mean, he'll be back for the playoffs. i mean, that's the only thing we're worried about here, right? >> the sharks continued their road trip as they took the ice
