NBA roundup: Warriors survive close call to edge Thunder as Blazers beat Grizzlies
As Curry's ball was going through the basket, Draymond Green made contact with the rim. After a lengthy review, Green's contact was deemed "not to cause the ball to take an unnatural bounce" and the basket was counted.
Dario Saric added 20 points off the bench for the Warriors, who have won five consecutive games following an opening loss.
Luguentz Dort scored 29 points, making all six of his 3-point attempts, to lead Oklahoma City. The Thunder were without Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who sat out with a left knee sprain he sustained late in the team's Wednesday loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.
