Warriors’ Curry shines in Kerr’s winning return
Curry's crowd-pleasing floater with 5:31 remaining gave the Warriors a nine-point lead, and his three-pointer 75 seconds later extended the advantage to 109-96 on a night when the Warriors had trouble shaking the Pacers. The Warriors tied the 1985-86 Celtics for the third-best streak in NBA history and are chasing the 1995-96 Bulls, who won 44 straight. Green had 22 points and 11 rebounds, Klay Thompson added 18 points, and Leandro Barbosa and Andre Iguodala combined for 23 points off the bench as the Warriors celebrated Kerr's return from a 3½-month leave of absence because of a spinal fluid leak. The Pacers (23-20) got 31 points and eight rebounds from rookie Myles Turner and 16 points and eight assists from Joe Young as All-Star forward Paul George was limited to 12 points on 5-of-15 shooting. Curry had seven points, seven rebounds and five assists in the game's opening minutes and made a 60-footer just after the first-quarter buzzer sounded. The guard, who spent his first 6½ NBA seasons with the Warriors, picked up his third foul in the opening 11 seconds of the second quarter.
