Stephen Curry poured in 44 points and the Golden State Warriors roared to win No. 21, beating the Toronto Raptors 112-109 Saturday.
Kyle Lowry scored a career-high 41 points in a spectacular effort to lead a Raptors team that was in the game until the dying seconds. Lucas Nogueira added 14 points, while DeMar DeRozan finished with 16 and Luis Scola added 10 for Toronto (12-9).
Klay Thompson chipped in with 26 for Golden State (21-0).
The Raptors had given the defending NBA champion Warriors a run for their money early last month, in a 115-110 loss, and they were a confident bunch Saturday.
