WASHINGTON, November 6 ------ Stephen Curry scored 16 of his 24 points in the second half in his return from an ankle injury and the Golden State Warriors won their fourth straight game, 125-112, over the Washington Wizards.

Curry opened the scoring with a 3-pointer, then didn’t make another field goal until his buzzer-beating 3 at the end of the first half gave the Warriors a 54-45 lead. Buddy Hield scored 20 points, part of another strong contribution from the Golden State bench. The Warriors’ reserves outscored Washington’s 60-33. Golden State has averaged an edge of 24 points per game in bench points so far this season. Jordan Poole led Washington with 24 points Kyle Kuzma (right groin strain) missed his third straight game for the Wizards, and Marvin Bagley III (illness) also sat out. Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels was at the game and received a huge ovation from the crowd.
