The Golden State Warriors stunned the Houston Rockets with a 95-85 win in Game 1 of the Western Conference Playoffs first-round series.
The Rockets entered as the No. 2 seed and the Warriors as the No. 7 seed, but Golden State was too much for the young Houston squad.
Stephen Curry led the way with 31 points on 12-of-19 from the field, although the best play of the night came on an unreal, nearly-impossible 3-pointer. Curry was guarded by Jalen Green and threw up a heave with the shot clock winding down.
Now, a new video has surfaced from Houston Texans Pro Bowl running back Joe Mixon.

Curry’s shot was something else, and the broadcast said, “GEOMETRICALLY, THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED!”
The Rockets fans sitting next to Mixon were as stunned as everybody else and could only shake their heads in disbelief. Curry’s teammate, Jimmy Butler, even had a “Batman” take on Curry after the game.
“Batman comes out of nowhere, you never see him coming and then he falls from the sky, from a building, behind a door and does some incredible things,” Butler said.
Mixon, who spent the 2024 season with the Texans after being traded by the Cincinnati Bengals, was named a Pro Bowler after rushing for 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns. Now, he seems to be enjoying taking in other professional Houston sporting events, although the Rockets came out on the wrong side of this one.
Game 2 is on Wednesday night in Houston before the series shifts to Golden State.
