ROCKETS 99, WARRIORS 96: Courtney Lee had a team-high 20 points and Goran Dragic scored 18 points as host Houston snapped a season-long six-game losing skid.

Dragic and Lee led a potent 3-point attack to keep the Rockets' playoff hopes alive. Lee fired four 3-pointers in the final frame to hand Golden States its eighth consecutive defeat.

Patrick Patterson tipped in a missed shot from Dragic with seven seconds remaining to give the Rockets a 99-94 lead and put the contest out of reach.

Klay Thompson led all Warriors' scorers with a game-high 24-point effort.

Houston, which travels to Miami for the second half of its back-to-back Sunday, has won eight straight home games versus Golden State.

The Rockets snapped a four-game skid and defeated the Warriors for the 14th time in 16 meetings.

Houston benefited from a 10-for-26 shooting display from 3-point range to maintain its mastery of Golden State.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Warriors C Andris Biedrins (concussion) didn't play. ... Golden State general manager Larry Riley announced Saturday that Stephen Curry (right ankle) and Andrew Bogut (left ankle) will undergo surgery next week.
