Klay Thompson stepped up in his team-mate’s absence, posting 26 points for the Warriors (54-5), who claimed consecutive overtime wins. He left the game after twisting the ankle in the middle of the contest, but returned to eventually hit the game victor.
But the Warriors still won in Curry’s absence after All-Star forward Draymond Green (15 points, 13 rebounds) nailed a three-pointer as the clock expired with 40.2 seconds remaining in OT. Dirk Nowitzki scored 19 points, and Chandler Parsons and J.J. Barea each had 17.

Millsap missed a 3-point try with 24.3 seconds left, and holding the final possession, Thompson drove the key and got a good look on a fadeaway jumper that rattled out, Bogut had a desperation hook at the buzzer that missed and the game into overtime.
Each team got a shot to win it from there.
Bulls point guard Derrick Rose, back after missing three games with a hamstring injury, scored 17 points, but Chicago allowed more than 100 points for the 14th straight game. The Hawks lost their third straight overall to Golden State and fourth in a row in Oakland. The Warriors’ three first-half turnovers matched their fewest in the opening half this season. Jeff Teague, who averages nearly six assists per game, needs to add plenty to the offence, but also come up with a way to stop Curry.
Kent Bazemore and Al Horford each had nine rebounds for the Hawks.
