Steph Curry registered 37 points as the Golden State Warriors beat the Dallas Mavericks 120-117 in the NBA Cup on Klay Thompson’s return to the Chase Center.
The 36-year-old scored the Warriors’ final 12 points – including a superb three-pointer to make it 118-114 – as he continued his fine start to the season.
Thompson, 34, scored 22 points as he made his first return to the Bay Area after ending his 13-year stint with the Warriors to join the Mavericks last summer.
Curry, who won four NBA Championships alongside Thompson, says it was strange to come up against his former team-mate.
