Thompson, Durant lead injured Warriors to 10th straight win
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Klay Thompson scored 27 of his 29 points in the first half and made his first nine field goals, leading the undermanned Golden State Warriors past the Memphis Grizzlies 97-84 on Wednesday night for their 10th straight win.
Kevin Durant added 22 points, eight rebounds and two blocked shots as defending champion Golden State was down five regulars again, including two-time MVP Stephen Curry out for his sixth straight game with a sprained right ankle.
Thompson shot 10 for 16 overall and didn't miss until a 3-point try with 6:10 left before halftime.
