Amid reports that Curry’s not 100 percent — one claiming he was at 70 percent — the Warriors’ point guard responded by scoring a series-high 31 points and turned up the defense in the fourth quarter, blocking a Kevin Durant shot and later stealing the ball from him.

Down three games to two, the Warriors will play their second straight elimination game Saturday night in Oklahoma City.
