Stephen Curry led the way with 28 points, Gui Santos ignited a late surge with a 3-pointer and the Golden State Warriors outfinished the host New York Knicks for a 114-102 victory on Tuesday.
Playing the second night of a back-to-back, Golden State rallied from a 10-point first-half deficit into a 94-89 lead after two free throws by Jimmy Butler III with 8:24 remaining in the game.
OG Anunoby's fourth 3-pointer of the night and a free throw 64 seconds later drew the Knicks within 94-93. Then Santos, part of a late-game, multi-player substitution that also saw Curry re-enter the game, bottomed a 27-footer with 6:24 to go to get the Warriors rolling.
Curry drilled a 25-footer a minute later, Moses Moody converted a layup, Butler hit a free throw and Kevon Looney turned a Curry assist into a dunk, completing an 11-0 flurry that left the Knicks in a 105-93 hole with 2:39 to play.
Seeking a fourth straight win, New York got no closer than eight the rest of the way.
Curry shot 10-for-21 overall and 5-for-9 on 3-point attempts. He also found time for seven rebounds, a game-high nine assists and two steals.
The Warriors made 13 treys, outscoring the hosts 39-24 from deep.
Butler used 7-for-9 success at the foul line to pad his 19-point total, Golden State's Brandin Podziemski also had 19 points and Buddy Hield added 15.
Draymond Green, playing on his 35th birthday, contributed eight points, a team-high nine rebounds, eight assists and two steals to the cause, helping Golden State win for the third time in four outings on a five-game trip.
Anunoby paced the Knicks with a game-high 29 points, while Jalen Brunson managed 25 despite shooting just 1-for-7 from 3-point range.
Mikal Bridges added 15 points for the Knicks, who were playing a lone home date amid seven road games.
Brunson also had a team-high seven assists for New York, while Precious Achiuwa pulled a game-high 15 rebounds to complement eight points.
