If there were any doubt about Curry's importance to Golden State, the two-time defending NBA champions went 5-6 in the 11 games he was forced to sit out.

Curry has increased his scoring output in three games since returning, starting with 27 points against the Detroit Pistons on Dec. 1 and 30 against the Atlanta Hawks on Monday.

After the Warriors left the door open for other Western Conference contenders during Curry's absence, they look poised to reclaim their throne with a 17-9 record.
