Warriors avenge Monday setback

Stephen Curry scored 32 points, including 16 in the decisive third quarter, and the Warriors crushed the Spurs, 114-91, Tuesday night at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.

With the win, the Warriors (13-12) are back above .500, avoid their first three-game losing streak of the season and finish their four-game trip through Texas 2-2.

The game was tied at 50 at halftime, but the Warriors used a 23-2 run, crested by Curry’s step back 3-pointer, to take a 21-point lead midway through the third quarter.

For the Spurs (14-11), who beat the Warriors 24 hours earlier in the first of this back-to-back set, Rudy Gay finished with 17 points and Patty Mills scored 13.

The University of Houston announced Tuesday that the Leatherwood family has made a $1 million gift to the women’s golf program.

The gift was made in memory of Carolyn Macow Leatherwood, a longtime supporter and golf lover who died last summer at 73 after a lengthy battle with Crohn’s disease.

The women’s golf head coach position at UH will be known as the Carolyn Macow Leatherwood Head Women’s Golf Coach.

Carolyn and husband Steve began contributing to the UH athletics program in 1989.

“We believe the best is yet to come for the Houston women’s golf program, and we are excited to make this gift in Carolyn’s memory,” Steve Leatherwood said. “Our hope is that this gift can be transformational as the program continues to ascend as one of the top college golf programs in the country. After Carolyn’s passing, we wanted to make an impact, and we knew that golf gave her such joy, and was always in her heart.”

Under coach Gerrod Chadwell, the women’s program has won three American Athletic Conference Championships and earned five NCAA Regional berths.

“Our team is completely blown away by this incredible gift to our program,” Chadwell said. “This financial commitment will impact generations of studentathletes in our women’s golf program at the University of Houston.”
