Chris Webber made a painful return to Golden State.
Webber, playing his first game against his old team since his Nov. 17 trade to Washington, dislocated his left shoulder in Thursday night's 107-87 loss to the Warriors.Last season's top rookie is expected to be sidelined six to eight weeks.
"I was definitely scared, but I'm blessed and I'm young and there's no reason for me to get down," Webber said.
Webber had 14 points and seven rebounds before he was injured with 9:25 left in the third quarter and Washington trailing 56-54.
While chasing a loose ball, Webber seemed to take an awkward step and crashed to the floor. As he lay in pain, some fans jeered him.
"They were just getting their feelings out," Webber said. "But some son is watching his father cheer someone getting hurt. What kind of a role model is that?"
Webber, who feuded with coach Don Nelson at Golden State, was sent to Washington for Tom Gugliotta and three first-round draft picks.
Gugliotta had 18 points and 13 rebounds as the Warriors snapped a 10-game losing streak and handed the Bullets their eighth consecutive loss.
Rockets 114, Suns 106
At Houston, Kenny Smith scored 25 points and Vernon Maxwell led a third-quarter burst by the Rockets in their first game against Phoenix since last year's playoffs.
The Rockets, who won the seven-game series in the Western Conference semifinals, hit 13 of their first 16 shots in the third period and went on to snap the Suns' seven-game winning streak.
A simmering feud between Houston's Mario Elie and Phoenix's Danny Ainge surfaced early in the second quarter when the two players scuffled after Ainge blocked Elie's layup attempt.
Elie and Ainge each received technical fouls and Houston's Carl Herrera also drew a technical for his participation in the shouting match.
Ainge hit Elie in the face with an inbounds pass in Game 3 of their playoff series last season.
