Steph Curry, Klay Thompson boost Warriors by leading cheers from bench

Warriors stars Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson could not have known it would come to this, that they'd find themselves squarely in the thrall of superstition. The Warriors on Monday won their second consecutive game, a 113-104 strangling of the suddenly moribund Minnesota Timberwolves at Chase Center. This might not seem like much to the outside observer, and it barely would have been a blip in recent Warriors seasons, but this is the first time they have won successive games since last May, when they swept the Portland Trail Blazers out of the Western Conference finals.
