CURRY SCORES SEASON-HIGH 45 IN WARRIORS’ WIN

ANGELES» Steph Curry scored LOS a season-high 45 points without playing the fourth quarter and the Warriors ran away from the Clippers 121-105 on Saturday for their fourth straight victory.

Curry took advantage of the guard-depleted Clippers, making 11-of-21 shots, including 8-of16 3-pointers, going against rookie Juwan Evans and Gleague call-up Tyrone Wallace.

The Clippers’ Blake Griffin suffered a concussion late in the first quarter when he stumbled driving into the lane from the right wing and hit his head on Javale Mcgee’s right elbow. Griffin fell to the floor immediately, and remained down for several minutes as team physicians tended to him. He went to the locker room under his own power and did not return.
