OAKLAND, California - Stephen Curry ignited the third-quarter rally that got Golden State going, so Kevin Durant was determined to do his part in the fourth.

The Warriors' two biggest stars delivered as the best player on the San Antonio Spurs could only sit and watch.

Curry scored 40 points and hit a tying 3-pointer with 1:48 remaining as the Warriors rallied from way behind after Kawhi Leonard was lost to an ankle injury to beat the Spurs 113-111 in Sunday's opening game of the NBA Western Conference final.
