Curry scores 40 points as the Warriors beat the Cavaliers

And the Warriors, who beat the Cavaliers in the final round of the competition last year, are one victory away from grabbing the top of the Western Division before the playoffs, after winning 55 against 24 defeats.

The Warriors outperformed the Cavaliers, who fell sharply this season after the departure of LeBron James to the Los Angeles Lakers, from start to finish.

But the Warriors squandered a 21-point lead, and the score became 115-112 with less than three minutes remaining, according to Reuters.

Cleveland had a chance to tie the game, but Colin Sexton missed a three-pointer.

But Curry hit back with a winning three-pointer to put the Warriors on track for their fourth straight home win.

And Curry finished the game, scoring nine three-pointers out of 12 attempts, recovering from his modest appearance when he scored seven points against the Lakers on Thursday.
