Curry returns from ankle injury confident in health, Warriors

Golden State Warriors playmaker Stephen Curry returned to the lineup Friday for the defending NBA champions confident in his team and the health of his tweaked right ankle. The Warriors, seeking their third crown in four seasons, own the NBA's second-best record at 53-18 after going 2-4 in two weeks without Curry, but the Houston Rockets top the league and Western Conference at 58-14 as the playoff loom in three weeks. "We know what Houston is doing," Curry said.
