Curry finished the game with 18 points on 6-of-11 shooting from the field and 4 of 7 from 3-point range in 27 minutes of action. He added six assists and four rebounds.
The 36-year-old has a long history of ankle injuries, and this one didn't look good.
The Warriors only can hope that Curry's latest ankle injury isn't as serious as it looked.
