OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Golden State Warriors delivered one of those high-flying third quarters that were a signature last season.
Stephen Curry capped it with a rare but dazzling block.
"We'll have to start calling him a rim protector now," Kevin Durant quipped.
Klay Thompson scored 27 points, Durant added 22 points, six rebounds and six assists, and the Warriors pulled away after halftime to run their winning streak to eight games with a 117-101 win against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night.
Curry overcame a slow start to score 19 points, and the Warriors used a 34-15 third quarter to pull away.
