who
shot
at
33
percent
from
beyond
the
arc,
hit
his
fifth
three-point
attempt
to
narrow
the
margin.

Curry
had
another
attempt
from
beyond
the
arc
rim
out,
with
Kevin
Looney’s
putback
giving
Golden
State
the
lead
with
13.4
seconds
left.

Gary
Payton
II’s
defense
on
Caris
LeVert
forced
a
late
turnover
to
seal
the
win
for
the
Warriors
who
improve
to
22-5,
ahead
of
Curry’s
next
attempt
