Los Angeles (AFP) - The Golden State Warriors fizzled without sizzling Stephen Curry, falling 114-91 to the Mavericks in Dallas in just their second defeat of the NBA season.
The Mavericks on Wednesday made the most of Curry's absence with a lower left leg injury.
Dallas raced to an early 17-point lead and led by as many as 30.
An MRI exam of Curry's sore leg revealed no structural damage.
"As long as it's not anything serious, we're fine that he might need a couple of days to heal," Golden State interim coach Luke Walton said.
