NBA: Curry drops career-high 62

Stephen Curry let it fly from way out under pressure with a minute-plus left for another perfect swish on the way to a career-high 62 points, and the Warriors won 137-122 on Sunday night in San Francisco to split a two-game set with the Trail Blazers.

Anthony Davis added 17 points, nine rebounds and three blocks for the Lakers.

Jaylen Brown led Boston with 31 points.

Luka Doncic sat out the Mavericks’ 118-108 loss to the Bulls on Sunday in Chicago because of a left quadriceps contusion.
