The 24-year-old rookie has been crucial to their eight-game winning streak.On Wednesday, Lendeborg again showed why the Warriors preferred an older, more experienced rookie amid their lack of star depth with Jimmy Butler recovering from an ACL tear.After Steph Curry’s injury, it seemed the Warriors were headed for a lopsided loss. They trailed 35-20 at the end of the first quarter. However, Lendeborg put the team on his back in the second quarter. He scored 13 of his 18 first-half points in that period, helping the Warriors tie the game at 49-49 before the Rockets closed the half on a 7-2 run to take a 56-51 lead. Lendeborg added eight rebounds and shot 50.0% from the field.If he can maintain his rhythm, the Warriors have a chance to record another impressive win against a playoff contender without Curry.Read more:Giannis Antetokounmpo Plays Coy on Doc Rivers’ Reported Apology“Went Down Like He’d Been Shot”: Bill Simmons Makes Frustration Clear With Joel Embiid for “Milking” Injury in 76ers LossCollege Sports Network has you covered with the latest news, analysis, insights, and trending stories in the NBA, college football, men’s college basketball, women’s college basketball, and college baseball!
