  "account": "In a startling 123-85 defeat, the Golden State Warriors found themselves lacking the presence of their star player, Stephen Curry. On the previous night, rookie Yaxel Lendeborg had taken on the role of Curry's understudy in Houston, but his performance was far from exemplary. As the game progressed against the Rockets, Lendeborg was urged by his teammates to step up. He obliged, drawing inspiration from positive self-talk. However, this strategy was not enough when faced with the Warriors' historic loss against the Spurs in San Antonio.",
  "summary": "The Golden State Warriors hoped rookie standout Yaxel Lendeborg would help them offset the absence of Steph Curry against the Spurs on Friday, but a 123-85 loss illustrated Curry's value to the team.",
