Stephen Curry had 34 points, 9 assists, and 7 rebounds to help the Golden State Warriors rally from an early 17-point deficit and defeat the Oklahoma City Thunder 114-109. The loss snaps the Thunder's 7-game winning streak since the return of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
Unfortunately for OKC, Durant exited the game at the end of the first half with a mild ankle sprain. X-rays were negative after the game, and he will sit out Friday's game against the Lakers. He sat out the first 17 games of the season with a broken right foot.
The injury happened when he stepped on the foot of Warriors' Marreese Speights foot. Durant finished the 1st half with 30 points, shooting 10-for-13 from the field, including nailing his first 6 shot attempts. The 30 points marks Durant's highest scoring first half of his career.
Klay Thompson added 19 points for the Warriors, who now sits at 22-3 on the season and 9-1 at home. They played without David Lee (hamstring) and Andrew Bogut (knee). Bogut is said to be out indefinitely with the right knee injury.
Draymond Green helped fill the absences with 16 points and 9 assists, while Harrison Barnes added 12 points and 7 rebounds.
Westbrook had 33 points for the Thunder, who fell to 12-14 on the season.
It was an exciting first half of play, with both teams surpassing 60 points at halftime, including the Thunder leading 40-32 at the end of the first.
The Warriors will have the weekend off, before hosting the Sacramento Kings on Monday.
