Curry's 33 lift Golden State

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Stephen Curry scored 21 of his 33 points by halftime, and Golden State snapped its two-game skid Monday night by routing Memphis 101-84 to tie the Western Conference semifinal at 2-2.

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 its starters with 3:00 left.

Game 5 is Wednesday night at Golden State.

The Warriors led by as many as 26 points, and they had their best game shooting outside the arc.

Hawks 106, Wizards 101

WASHINGTON — Jeff Teague scored 26 points, including a key 3-pointer, to lead Atlanta and even the second-round series at 2-2.

Two days after hitting a buzzer-beater to win Game 3, Washington’s Paul Pierce missed a 3-point attempt that would have tied the score with less than 10 seconds left.

Al Horford had 18 points and 10 rebounds and Paul Millsap added 19 points, six assists and five rebounds.

Washington point guard John Wall missed a third consecutive game with a broken left hand.

Game 5 is Wednesday night at Atlanta.
