Warriors Beat Thunder 114-109 After Durant Injury

(AP) — Stephen Curry had 34 points and nine assists, and the Golden State Warriors rallied from an early 17-point deficit to beat Oklahoma City 114-109 on Thursday night after Thunder star Kevin Durant left with a sprained right ankle. The Thunder said Durant had a mild ankle sprain, and the NBA MVP did not return. Oklahoma City had won seven straight games, which was the longest active streak in the league after Memphis snapped Golden State's 16-game winning streak Tuesday night. Curry added seven rebounds, and Klay Thompson scored 19 points for the Warriors, who played without injured center Andrew Bogut (right knee) and forward David Lee (left hamstring) again. Westbrook and Curry traded go-ahead shots in the final minutes until the Warriors put together the deciding run. Curry hit a pull-up jumper, Draymond Green followed with a putback and Curry connected on a short running shot to give Golden State a 110-105 lead with 1:39 remaining.
