Curry scored 31 points with 11 assists and five rebounds, marking his fourth double-double of the season. But he could be facing a lengthy absence after struggling to limp off the court with just under a minute remaining. Curry attempted to steal a pass intended for E'Twaun Moore and turned his right ankle. 

X-rays on Curry's ankle were negative but his ankle was "pretty swollen," according to The Athletic

The Warriors trailed by 20 points at halftime, but for the second time this season, they erased the large deficit to win. Golden State is now 2-0 when faced with a 20-point halftime deficit this season, when it had previously been 2-150.
