Injury woes hit Warriors’ title defense

- The Golden State Warriors' NBA title defense has been hit by a spate of injuries to their players, an issue they did not have to grapple with in their triumphant previous season. League MVP Stephen Curry added to the team's health woes on Wednesday when he sat out with a left leg bruise and watched helplessly as the Warriors were blasted 114-91 by Dallas. Golden State (29-2) are off to the best start in NBA history though they appear to be slowing from a torrid pace that saw them win their first 24 games, an NBA record.
