Lack of Curry leaves flat Warriors with no stomach for fight

(The Sports Xchange) - The Dallas Mavericks took full advantage of Stephen Curry's absence with a lower left leg injury by bolting to an early 17-point lead on the way to a 114-91 victory over the Golden State Warriors at American Airlines Center on Wednesday. An MRI taken on Curry's leg earlier in the day revealed no structural damage but Golden State opted to be cautious and hold him out. The reigning league MVP will be a game-time decision on Thursday when the Warriors play at the Houston Rockets.
