Warriors bounce back

Stephen Curry scored 39 points, as the Golden State Warriors bounced back from defeat with a 136-111 rout of the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday in the National Basketball Association.

He also chipped in with six rebounds and seven assists, but was almost outscored by Portland point guard Damian Lillard, who poured in 38 points.

Elsewhere on Sunday, LeBron James paid tribute to Cleveland’s endurance as the Cavaliers scored a 112-103 victory over the Charlotte Hornets.

After arriving back in Cleveland in the early hours of Saturday, the Cavs were required to do it all over again with an early afternoon start against the Hornets.

Sunday’s victory was their fourth in five games heading into the final five matches of the regular season.

Chris Paul, who scored 27 points and 12 assists, said Griffin’s mere presence reassured his team-mates.
