OAKLAND, Calif., Feb. 12 (UPI) -- Monta Ellis pumped in 33 points and David Lee logged a double-double Sunday in the Golden State Warriors' 106-97 win over Houston.

Lee contributed 15 points and 13 rebounds. Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry each added 14 points for the Warriors.

Golden State posted a rare win over the Rockets, improving to 2-12 against them in 14 meetings while winning for the fourth time in six contests overall.
