Curry returns as Warriors take 2-0 lead, Raptors fold under pressure

Reigning MVP Stephen Curry made a triumphant return as the Golden State Warriors defeated the New Orleans Pelicans 121-116 in game two of their Western Conference semi-final. Back in the line-up on Tuesday after recovering from a medial collateral ligament sprain, Curry came off the bench to score 28 points on eight-of-15 shooting as the reigning champions took a 2-0 series lead. Curry's performance helped negate solid supporting nights from Pelicans stars Nikola Mirotic (18 points, nine rebounds), Rajon Rondo (22 points, 12 assists, seven rebounds) and Jrue Holiday (24 points, eight rebounds, eight assists).
