Stephen Curry scores 48 points as Warriors top Mavs

DALLAS — In Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, the Warriors boast the ultimate bail-out. Never mind if the rest of the team is laboring. When those two former MVPs are working in lockstep to form the most lethal 1-2 punch in the NBA, Golden State tends to win. In Sunday night's 119-114 victory over the Mavericks at American Airlines Center, the Warriors had little answer for Rookie of the Year front-runner Luka Doncic and got minimal help from their complementary options, only to still push their winning streak to four games. Such is the luxury of having a pair of transcendent scorers who revel in each other's successes.
