Golden State Warriors 126, NEW YORK KNICKS 103

Stephen Curry didn’t score 54 points at Madison Square Garden, but he posted his third triple-double of the season—second in the NBA behind the four from Indiana’s Lance Stephenson—as the Warriors routed the reeling Knicks, hanging 73 on the board en route to a 21-point halftime lead. Curry finished with 27 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists and fellow Splash Brother Klay Thompson added 25 points. Jermaine O’Neal continued to party like it’s 2003 with 15 points. Carmelo Anthony had 23 points and 16 rebounds for the Knicks, Tim Hardaway Jr. added 22 points and J.R. Smith dropped 17. But Anthony was just 7-for-26. Tyson Chandler added 12 rebounds.

Chicago Bulls 100, DALLAS MAVERICKS 91

The Mavericks blew another double-digit lead as Chicago won for the eighth time in nine games after Dallas led by 16 in the first half. Mike Dunleavy put the Bulls up to stay with a 3-pointer in the fourth quarter, sparking a decisive 10-0 run. Taj Gibson had 20 points and 15 boards for Chicago, Jimmy Butler added 19 points, Kirk Hinrich scored 17 and Dunleavy hit 4-of-7 from deep while scoring 16.
