The Golden State Warriors finally faced off against the Houston Rockets last night and while it didn't quite live up to the hype, it was a great night for Warriors fans. After all the trolling by Rockets player Tari Eason, Houston was ultimately blown out by the Warriors.

After the game, Klay Thompson absolutely roasted Tari Eason, who even wore a shirt to troll the Warriors to the game.

"That's pretty lame. Especially if you're not even playing," Thompson told reporters. "It's one thing if you're playing and you're out there competing, and you can back it up. But if you're just going to be trolling from the sideline...like bro, what are we doing? Times we talk mess, at least we're out there competing. That's all I have to say about that."

"That's pretty lame. Especially if you're not even playing."

At the end of the day, it's all good fun between the Golden State Warriors and Houston Rockets. There's no actual bad blood between either team and the trash talk is in good nature. These are the types of banter that makes watching the game of basketball even more fun and should be allowed on the court.

After last night's win, the Golden State Warriors now have a four-game lead over the Houston Rockets for the 10th seed and have a tiebreaker. At this point, the play-in tournament is essentially secured for the Warriors. Now, it's time to rise up the standings even more.
