Stephen Curry scored 25 of his 43 points in the third quarter after his first halfcourt buzzerbeater of the season at the end of the first half to lead the host Golden State Warriors to their ninth win in 10 games, 144- 98 over the Los Angeles Clippers. Kevin Durant added 23 points and Klay Thompson 16.

Blake Griffin scored 20 points for the struggling Clippers, who have lost four of five since star point guard Chris Paul went down with a torn ligament in his left thumb.
