Golden State end losing streak

Memphis — Stephen Curry scored 21 of his 33 points by halftime as the Golden State Warriors ended their two-game losing streak on Monday by routing the Memphis Grizzlies 101-84 to level the NBA Western Conference semifinal at 2-2.

Atlanta and Washington are also even at 2-2 in their second-round playoff after Jeff Teague scored 26 points, including a key three-pointer, to lead the Hawks over the Wizards 106-101.

The Warriors hadn’t lost three straight games all season, and they never came close as they took back home-court advantage. Curry hadn’t scored more than 23 points in this series, and he nearly had that by halftime. Draymond Green had 16 points and 10 rebounds for the Warriors while Klay Thompson had 15 points, Harrison Barnes 12 and Andre Iguodala 11.

Marc Gasol had 19 points and 10 rebounds for Memphis while Zach Randolph had 12 points and 11 rebounds. Mike Conley finished with 10 points and seven assists but was 4 of 15 from the field. Memphis pulled their starters with 3:00 left. Game 5 is Wednesday night at Golden State.
