It was the second time in seven days that Curry injured the ankle. He also missed eight games last season because of lingering ankle problems.
Smith started in place of Curry and scored seven of Golden State’s first 10 points. He finished 5 of 13 from the floor. Anthony and Stoudemire couldn’t get much of anything to fall. The duo repeatedly settled for long jumpers, a trend that continued deep into the fourth quarter.

The Warriors opened a 19-point lead with 4:09 left when the Knicks frustrations began to show.Tyson Chandler tossed Lee to the ground and was whistled for a technical foul, bringing the sold-out crowd at Oracle Arena to its feet.
