OAKLAND (AP): Golden State's Stephen Curry got involved in a rare altercation with an opponent as he helped the NBA-leading Warriors beat Houston 126-113 on Wednesday, and stretch their home-winning streak to 17 games. The Warriors extended their lead in the Western Conference to 41/2 games over Portland, which gave up a big early lead in losing at Phoenix. Phoenix built a big early lead, gave it up, then got back in front to edge Portland 118-113. Portland grabbed a 110-105 lead on Nicolas Batum's 3-pointer with 2:22 to go, but Phoenix closed the game with a 13-3 run. Memphis' Marc Gasol scored 26 points to lead the Grizzlies to a 92-86 win against Toronto. Oklahoma City's, Russell Westbrook, drove for the winning lay-up with 0.8 seconds left in overtime to give the Thunders a 105-103 win at Washington. Atlanta tied a franchise record with its 14th straight win, defeating Indiana 110-91. A rejuvenated Cleveland won for the fourth straight game, beating Utah 106-92. LeBron James scored 26 points, and Kevin Love added 19 for the Cavaliers, who are 4-1 since James returned after missing eight games with a strained back and knee. Dallas hit 11 three-pointers and put in a strong defensive performance to win 98-75 at Minnesota, with Chandler Parsons scoring 22 points. Charlotte held on for a 78-76 win against Miami and notched an eighth win in nine games. Brooklyn gave up most of a 23-point first-half lead and clung on to win 103-100 at Sacramento. New Orleans' Anthony Davis scored 29 points and blocked four shots in his return from a sprained toe, leading the Pelicans to a 96-80 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. Detroit's Brandon Jennings had 24 points and a career-high 21 assists to lead the Pistons over Orlando 128-118. New York's Carmelo Anthony had 27 points and 11 rebounds, powering the Knicks to a 98-91 win at Philadelphia; their second straight win after 16 consecutive losses.
