Curry leads Warriors over Wizards
Stephen Curry hit nine 3-pointers, scored 42 points and had eight assists, and the Warriors moved closer to locking up the Western Conference's top playoff seed by beating the Wizards, 139-115, on Sunday night.
Draymond Green had his 19th career triple-double and fifth this season with 11 points, 13 assists and 12 rebounds. Curry scored 10 points over the final 1:52 of the first half and shot 15-for-22, including 9-for-14 on 3s, in the Warriors' 11th straight victory. It was his 26th career 40-point game and fourth this season.
John Wall had 15 points and 11 assists for the Wizards. He set the single-season franchise assists record with No. 802 in the third quarter, topping Rod Strickland in 1997-98.
Before the game, Wizards guard John Wall was fined $15,000 by the NBA for what the league called “public criticism of the officiating.”
Wall ripped the referees to the media after a 95-88 loss at Utah on Friday night, frustrated with the free throw discrepancy. The Jazz shot 31 times from the line to 15 for the Wizards. He said, “The way they've been officiating today doesn't make no sense.”
