Curry also logged 6 assists and 4 rebounds, while going 9/16 from deep. That was the 38th time that the Warriors' leader made nine three-point shots. Since April, he has had more three-point games (10) than any other player in his entire career. That's another testament to his great shape.
For the winners, Nemanja Bjelica scored 14 points and Andrew Wiggins added 12.
On the other end, Darius Garland had 25 points and 5 assists, while Dean Wade and Kevin Love scored 17 apiece.

The Cavs got away with +8 (68-60) 4:42 before the end of the third period and reached +13 (81-68) by the end of it. However, the Warriors got off on an impressive 17-0 run that put them ahead 85-81 and eventually allowed them to open the gap even more.
