In his first posteason appearance, Houston Rockets guard Jalen Green has been a lightning rod during his team's first-round series against the Golden State Warriors. That continued Monday night after the Rockets' 109-106 loss to the Warriors in Game 4 at San Francisco's Chase Center that plunged Houston into a 3-1 series deficit and facing elimination Wednesday.

The Golden State Warriors won another defensive showcase against the Houston Rockets on Monday, 109-106, behind a balanced effort from Stephen Curry's supporting cast.

The Warriors on Feb. 5 sent a protected 2025 first-round pick and four players — Andrew Wiggins, Dennis Schroder, Kyle Anderson, and Lindy Waters III — to various destinations in the complicated, multi-team deal that brought Butler to the Bay from Miami. Golden State signed Butler to a two-year, $121 million contract extension through 2027.
