SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- After Golden States difficult road loss two nights ago in Oklahoma City, Stephen Curry was anxious to avoid a repeat performance Sunday against the Sacramento Kings. The dynamic guard came up with big play after big play, none bigger than his two free throws with 8.6 seconds left that helped the Warriors edge the Kings 115-113. Curry made five 3-pointers, scored 36 points and also added 10 assists for the Warriors, who had lost two straight and five of six. It was the sixth time in his career that Curry had matched or exceeded 30 points and 10 assists. The first five came in his rookie season. The Friday loss to Oklahoma City had been especially painful. Russell Westbrooks 3-pointer with 0.1 seconds left in overtime gave the Thunder a 113-112 victory. "Its been frustrating of late, not being able to close out games, especially on the road," Curry said. "Everyone pitched in. It was a good learning lesson for us to continue to stick to the program." Klay Thompson connected on a career-high eight 3-pointers and added 28 points. Golden State hit 15 of 25 3s (60 per cent). Curry is in a terrific grove, making 15 of 28 over the last three games. "They are good players and tough to cover," Kings centre DeMarcus Cousins said. "In the beginning we didnt make it difficult for them. Later in the game we did. If we had done that early on maybe it would have been a different game." The Warriors had a 16-point lead in the third quarter and led by 10 entering the fourth. But the Kings rallied and took the lead several times in the fourth, when they outscored Golden State 33-25. After Currys two free throws broke a 113-all tie, Andrew Bogut blocked a driving reverse layup by Isaiah Thomas in the closing seconds and grabbed the rebound to secure the victory. "I saw Klay get beat and had an idea Isaiah would not be going up against me on the right side," said Bogut, who had 12 rebounds, three blocks and two steals. "I kind of read it and thankfully I got the block." Harrison Barnes and David Lee had 11 points for the Warriors, who ended a four-game road trip with a 2-2 record. In foul trouble throughout, Cousins had 24 points in just over 20 minutes. Marcus Thornton hit five 3-pointers and scored all of his 21 points in the second half, including 11 in the fourth. Thomas had 19 points and eight assists, but also committed seven of Sacramentos season-high 24 turnovers that led to 33 Warrior points. Patrick Patterson scored 18 points and Jason Thompson added 10. It was another frustrating loss for the Kings, who have dropped four straight overall and are now 3-7 at home. "I think a lot of those turnovers today was us being soft and us telegraphing our passes," Thomas said. "Especially in the second quarter when I had four or five turnovers. Two or three of them I just telegraphed - they knew where it was going." Trailing by two points twice with under a minute to play, Cousins responded with a pair of basket from close range, the second one tying the game at 113 with 12.6 seconds left. A 3-pointer by Thomas put the Kings in front 104-102 with 3:51 left. But Thompsons corner 3 and a jumper by Curry put the Warriors on top, 107-106. With the Kings down by 11 points, Thornton made a 3 to ignite a 12-2 run. Cousins ended the surge by converting a layup and making two free throws to cut Golden States lead to 100-96. "What I like about our guys is that it could have been a 16-point deficit that turned into 30, but it turned into a two-point lead and giving ourselves a chance to win," Kings coach Michael Malone said. "We were only one defensive rebound away from winning the game." After a strong first half, it was Thompson and Curry continuing their perimeter success in the third quarter, when they combined for five 3-pointers. Curry scored 11 points and Thompson had three 3-pointers and nine points, giving Golden State a 90-80 heading into the fourth. "I have a great backcourt with two guys that can light up a scoreboard," Warriors coach Mark Jackson said. "The thing that I love most about them is people fall in love with shooting, which is the obvious, but they compete. They have really developed into a good defensive tandem. I thought both guys did an outstanding job on the defensive end." Cousins was called for his fourth foul at the 7:45 mark of the third quarter. He argued the call and was quickly given his fifth technical of the season and went to the bench with the Kings trailing 66-59. Warriors starting forward Andre Iguodala sat out his fifth straight game with a left hamstring strain. Notes: The arena power went out during pregame introductions and lasted for 12 minutes. When power was restored, the Kings introduction was skipped and the game had no public address announcer until midway through the first quarter. .

Just 11 days after the Fighting Irish outlasted the Yellow Jackets in a double-overtime thriller in South Bend, Notre Dame (16-2, 3-1 ACC) overcame a 38-30 halftime deficit and the absence of second-leading scorer Zach Auguste due to a reported academic issue behind a stifling defensive effort in the second half. Georgia Tech (9-7, 0-4) was held without a field goal for over eight minutes after Corey Heywards 3-pointer with 8:14 remaining, and the Yellow Jackets went just 6-of-23 from the field after intermission. Vasturias layup with 4:16 left gave Notre Dame a 57-56 lead, while his three-point play with just 8.8 seconds to go ensured the Irish would avoid a second consecutive defeat. Jerian Grant aided Notre Dames cause with a 12-point, six-assist effort, while freshman Bonzie Colson helped offset Augustes loss by contributing a career-best 10 points off the bench. Demarco Cox finished with 17 points and seven rebounds in the latest tough loss for the Yellow Jackets, whose four defeats in conference play this year have come by a combined 18 points. Chris Bolden had 13 points for Georgia Tech, but just two came after halftime. Outplayed for the majority of the first half, Notre Dame began the second on a 7-0 run to pull within a point, then grabbed a 44-43 lead shortly afterward on a Pat Connaughton triple with 15 minutes to play. The Irish were up 53-49 prior to Heywards trey with just over eight minutes remaining, which jump-started a 7-2 Yellow Jackets spurt that sent them back in front. Georgia Tech misfired on six consecutive shot attempts after Heywarrds basket, though Notre Dame also was held off the scoreboard for nearly four minutes after Vasturias go-ahead layup.dddddddddddd Grant finally ended the drought with a clutch step-back jumper from the right side with 19.6 seconds left that put the Irish up 59-56. Georgia Techs Marcus Georges-Hunt then missed the front end of a 1-and-1 on the ensuing possession, with Colson grabbing the rebound and Grant firing a pass down the court that Vasturia converted while being fouled to seal the outcome. The Yellow Jackets took advantage of Augustes unavailability, as well as a hot start from Bolden, during an opening half in which they led by as much as 12 points. Bolden put up 11 in the first 10-plus minutes, including each of Georgia Techs total during an 8-2 run that had the Irish down 22-15 with 11:09 to go in the period. After three straight interior baskets by the Jackets later in the frame staked them to a 35-23 lead, Notre Dame countered with a 7-1 push before Robert Sampsons layup had Georgia Tech ahead by a 38-30 count at the break. The Yellow Jackets shot 53.6 percent in the initial stanza and dominated in the lane, outscoring Notre Dame by a 22-12 margin in the paint.
