Curry tallies 30 points during romp in Miami

MIAMI — Stephen Curry scored 30 points in 30 minutes, Kevin Durant added 24 and the Golden State Warriors rode a big third-quarter run to pull away and beat the Miami Heat 123-95 on Sunday night.

Klay Thompson scored 19 points for the Warriors, who started the second half on an 18-3 run and outscored Miami 37-17 in the third.

Golden State’s lead was only two at the half, then ballooned to 99-77 going into the fourth.

Curry — playing with a sore finger on his shooting hand — had 16 of his points in the first quarter, then 10 more in the third.

Goran Dragic scored 20 points for the Heat.

They led by eight in the early going and 36-33 after the first quarter. The Heat then scored 41 points in the next 24 minutes.

Starting with a layup by Curry late in the half, Golden State made 10 of 11 shots in one stretch. Curry had two 3-pointers in that third-quarter barrage, and his driving score pushed the lead out to 80-63.

At that point, he had 30 points in the game's first 281⁄2 minutes. He didn't score again, didn't even play in the fourth, and the Warriors didn't need much more help anyway.

Golden State would eventually lead by 33.

Miami was outscored by 26 in the second half.

Andre Iguodala (sore knee) didn't play for the Warriors, who swept the season series with Miami.
