Curry, playing back-to-back games for the first time since November before dealing with tendinitis in both knees, went 5 for 12 on 3-pointers.

Earlier in the day, was named for the All-Star Game on his home floor at Chase Center on Feb. 16 — his 11th and 10th time as a starter. That moved him past Paul Arizin for most All-Star selections in franchise history.

Bulls: G Coby White, who sat out a second consecutive game, was examined by a doctor and underwent imaging in Los Angeles that showed he has a bone bruise in his right ankle from planting on his foot Jan. 19 at Portland. Coach Billy Donovan expects White might miss a week or more.
