Steph Curry registered 37 points as the Golden State Warriors beat the Dallas Mavericks 120-117 in the NBA Cup on Klay Thompson’s return to the Chase Center.

The 36-year-old scored the Warriors’ final 12 points – including a superb three-pointer to make it 118-114 – as he continued his fine start to the season.

Thompson, 34, scored 22 points as he made his first return to the Bay Area after ending his 13-year stint with the Warriors to join the Mavericks last summer.

Curry, who won four NBA Championships alongside Thompson, says it was strange to come up against his former team-mate.

“We went over our pre-game scout and the match-ups,” said Curry.

“It was almost surreal saying, ‘Steph, you got Klay.'”
