Steph Curry scored 31 and canned a pair of daggers late in the fourth quarter, lifting the Warriors (15-12) to a much-needed 113-103win. They’d lost nine of their past 11 games entering Saturday, including the fourth biggest margin of defeat in franchise history.

But Curry has slipped into a bit of a slump. Even counting that surge against the Timberwolves on Saturday night, he is shooting 38 percent in eight December games, creaky numbers that began right around the time his knee tendinitis started popping up on the injury report.
