NBA Note - Golden State Warriors Curry, Stephen

Oct 24, 2017 - 7:14 AM PG Stephen Curry escaped a suspension from the league on Monday night, then led the Golden State Warriors to a 133-103 victory over the Dallas Mavericks at American Airlines Center.

Curry had to wait until Monday afternoon to get a verdict from the NBA office whether he would be allowed to play. During Golden State's 10-point loss at Memphis on Saturday, he lost his cool and chucked his mouthpiece in the direction of the referee.

Once he learned he would get only a $50,000 fine, the two-time league MVP finished with a game-high 29 points and added eight assists. He made up for cold 3-point shooting (2 of 10) by going 13 of 13 from the free-throw line to help the Warriors improve to 2-2.
