LOS ANGELES, US – Kevin Durant scored 16 of his 33 points in the fourth quarter as the Golden State Warriors rebounded from an upset loss to the Miami Heat with a 113-103 NBA victory over the Hornets in Charlotte on Wednesday, January 25 (Thursday morning, Manila time).

But an impeccable finish lifted the Warriors to a league-leading 39th victory of the season in 46 games, with Durant playing a key role.

Golden State out-scored the Hornets 22-9 over the final 6 minutes.

NBA Most Valuable Player Stephen Curry was also outstanding in his annual visit to his hometown, finishing with 28 points.

Klay Thompson added 19 points and Draymond Green contributed 13 for the Warriors. – Rappler.com
