Klay Thompson scored 30 points and Stephen Curry scored 15 of his 27 points in the fourth quarter as the Golden State Warriors used a big second-half turnaround to beat the Chicago Bulls 140-131 on Friday night. Thompson and Curry started slow, missing a combined 10 of their first 11 shots from the field. “It’s nice to win a game like that where I know individually I can shoot the ball better but we won a game collectively,” Curry said.
With three seconds left in a tie game, Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone set up Nikola Jokic to be the safety valve on an inbounds pass at the far end. Instead, Aaron Gordon got the ball to Jokic, who took three dribbles across halfcourt, stopped and launched a 40-footer over Kevon Looney from the right sideline that banked in as time expired. Jokic had 34 points, 10 assists and nine rebounds.
