Warriors win and reach a milestone

-

Stephen Curry scored 39 points and the Golden State Warriors bounced back from their first regular- season home loss in more than 14 months by beating the Portland Trail Blazers, 136- 111, on Sunday night in Oakland to tie the mark for the second- most wins in a season.

Draymond Green added 22 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists for his 13th triple- double, and Klay Thompson scored 21 for the Warriors, who matched the 1995- 96 and 1996- 97 Chicago Bulls and the 197172 Lakers with 69 wins. Golden State needs to win four of its f inal five games to break the record of 72 victories set by Chicago in 1995- 96.

That chase was dealt a setback Friday when Boston snapped Golden State’s record 54- game regular- season home winning streak.

Damian Lillard scored 38 points to lead the Trail Blazers, who had their four- game winning streak snapped.
