Curry, Warriors bounce back
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 06 - 01 - 2016

Stephen Curry secured his dominance over his hometown team Monday as the Golden State Warriors stretched their home winning streak to 35 straight with a 111-101 win over the Charlotte Hornets.
Curry, who averages more points against Charlotte than any other NBA player, scored 30 points in 31 minutes of playing time after having his previous performance cut short because of a recurring left calf injury.
The Warriors used an explosive third quarter to pull away from the Hornets with the help of Klay Thompson who nailed two clutch baskets to spark an 18-4 surge that put them in command for good.
"I was in a good flow and making shots. I tried to be aggressive and stay confident," Thompson said.
Draymond Green posted his seventh triple-double of the season with 13 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists for the Warriors, who have struggled to close out games recently.
Golden State's home win streak now stands at 35, including 17 this season as they moved a step closer to Chicago's record 44-game win streak from 1995-96. They have the fifth longest home win streak in NBA history.
Kings 116, Thunder 104: DeMarcus Cousins scored a game-high 33 points to lead Sacramento past Oklahoma City.
Cousins shot 11-of-27 from the field to go along with 19 rebounds. Marco Belinelli came off the bench to score 21 points.
Serge Ibaka led the Thunder, who played without Kevin Durant, with 25 points and seven rebounds. Forward Anthony Morrow added 20 points while guard Russell Westbrook compiled 17 points and 15 assists.
Heat 103, Pacers 100 (OT): Chris Bosh scored 31 points and grabbed 11 rebounds, and Dwyane Wade added 27 points to lead the Miami to the overtime win.
Indiana lost despite getting 32 points from Paul George. Miami won its third consecutive game.
The Pacers blew an 18-point, third-quarter lead. The Heat took their first lead with 3:11 left in the fourth quarter on a technical free throw by Bosh.
Cavaliers 122, Raptors 100: Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving has talked for weeks about knocking the rust off but he looked just fine in Cleveland's 122-100 victory over the Toronto Raptors.
Irving scored a season-high 25 points while adding eight assists and six rebounds, and forward LeBron James had 20 points and seven assists while sitting out the fourth quarter on a night when all five Cavs starters scored in double figures.
Sixers 109, Timberwolves 99: Ish Smith had 21 points and 11 assists as Philadelphia earned its third victory in six games since its 1-30 start.
Celtics 103, Nets 94: Jae Crowder scored a career-high 25 points and Boston rode its most productive first quarter of the season to a victory over Brooklyn.
Pistons 115, Magic 89: Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 21 points and reserve Brandon Jennings supplied 17 points and six assists in his fourth game of the season as Detroit blew out Orlando.
Spurs 123, Bucks 98: Tim Duncan rediscovered his offensive stroke, scoring 14 points in San Antonio's victory over Milwaukee.
Grizzlies 91, Trail Blazers 78: Zach Randolph came off the bench to match his season-high with 26 points, along with a campaign-best 18 rebounds, as Memphis eased past Portland.
Rockets 93, Jazz 91: James Harden scored 30 points as Houston snapped a four-game losing streak with a close victory over Utah.
