It comes after Landale has played inconsistent minutes so far this season, now behind Alperen Sengun and Steven Adams in the Rockets’ centre pecking order.San Antonio, who’s currently without coach Gregg Popovich due to health concerns, fell to 3-5.Stephen Curry outdueled Olympic teammate Jayson Tatum as the Golden State Warriors extended their strong start to the season with a 118-112 road victory over the Boston Celtics.
“We’re capable of beating anybody. It’s hard. You’ve got to embrace the challenge.

Warriors coach Kerr meanwhile was given a hostile reception by Celtics fans over his handling of Tatum at the Olympics, booed loudly during pre-game introductions.
