NBA: No Curry, no problem as Warriors march on (AFP)

The Golden State Warriors shrugged off the absence of Stephen Curry to cruise past the Houston Rockets 115-106 and take a 2-0 lead in their best-of-seven series on Monday. Curry was ruled out shortly before tip-off after failing a pre-game fitness test at the Oracle Arena. The emphatic win followed Golden State's 104-78 drubbing of the Rockets in game one.
