Stephen Curry scored 37 points as the Golden State Warriors thrashed the San Antonio Spurs 120-90 in the first meeting between the two top NBA teams this season. The reigning most valuable player Curry drained five three-pointers as the defending champion Warriors shot 11-for-26 from beyond the arc. "This was a team we hadn't played yet and the Spurs have been playing some great, great basketball so to have this kind of performance is huge," said Curry.
