Butler's 21 points propel Warriors to 114-83 victory over depleted Pacers

Stephen Curry missed his third straight game with a bad cold and had been listed as questionable with an illness. He was set to go through a workout Sunday and again Monday, then travel with the team in hopes he would return at Oklahoma City.

Al Horford added 12 points and four rebounds off the bench and Golden State used a 13-0 spurt spanning the third and fourth quarters and 21-7 run to pull away down the stretch.

Andrew Nembhard scored 14 points and dished out four of his nine assists in the second quarter for Indiana.

The Warriors improved to 5-0 at home, where they had lost the last six to the Pacers, the only remaining team yet to lose in the team’s seventh-year Chase Center. Golden State last beat Indiana at home on March 21, 2019, at Oracle Arena.
