LOS ANGELES: Klay Thompson and Stephen Curry outshined Russell Westbrook as the Golden State Warriors romped to victory against Oklahoma City on Monday (Tuesday in Manila), while James Harden produced another heroic display to hand Houston a dramatic win over Denver. Instead it was reigning NBA MVP Curry and teammate Thompson who got on top, raining down three-pointers as the Warriors recorded a 111-95 victory. Thompson poured on 34 points —including seven three-pointers —while Curry weighed in with 23 points, also contributing seven three-pointers. The flashpoint triggered a melee that ended with Westbrook, Curry and two other players receiving technical fouls. The Houston Rockets cemented their grip on third place in the Western Conference standings with a thrilling victory over the Denver Nuggets.
