Warriors top Mavs to end first losing streak

Kevin Durant scored 13 of his game-high 24 points in the third quarter Thursday night, allowing the Golden State Warriors to overcome a sluggish start in a 121-103 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in Oakland, Calif. Golden State's Stephen Curry moved ahead of Vince Carter on the NBA's all-time list for 3-pointers, sinking four to account for more than half his 20 points. Rookie Dennis Smith Jr. had a team-high 22 points for the Mavericks, who lost for the seventh time in their past eight games.
