What a welcome sight this was.
Steve Francis, absent from 16 of the last 17 games due to injury (and conveniently the Rockets were 1-15 in those affairs), made his big return, but he was the sidebar to the real show.

Cuttino Mobley scored 31 points, his third straight game of 30+, to lead the Rockets to the 100-93 win over the Warriors in Oakland Friday night. After 15 straight losses, it's the Rockets second win in their last 3 games, upping their record to 9-21. Houston has also won 16 of their last 17 road games against Golden State.
