Maxwell was 6-of-9 from three-point range.

The Rockets have not lost since falling at New York, 125-95, on Feb. 11. Their overall winning streak is the longest in the NBA this season, and the longest in the league since 1990-91, when Portland and the Los Angeles Lakers each won 16 straight.

Houston held Golden State to 10 fourth-quarter points and 33 in the second half.

Golden State led, 81-80, with 7:29 remaining before the Rockets went on a 13-0 run for a 93-81 advantage. Houston, which overcame a 17-point second-half deficit against Orlando Tuesday at The Summitt, trailed by as many as 16 points midway through the third quarter. Houston limited the Warriors to 17 points over the last 19 minutes of the game.
