Otto Porter Jr. has found a home with the Warriors, and their love for him was evident during a 45-second stretch at the end of the first half of their game against the Houston Rockets on Sunday night.

Porter went on a Steph Curry-like flurry with three straight 3-pointers in quick succession to give the Warriors a little breathing room against the young and hungry Rockets.

Curry, the Warriors' bench and the fans at Chase Center absolutely loved the show from Porter.
