PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Kevin Durant had 33 points and 10 rebounds, and the Golden State Warriors overcame Stephen Curry’s absence to hold off the Portland Trail Blazers 113-111 on Sunday night. Curry didn’t play because of the stomach flu, missing his first game of the season. Klay Thompson added 27 points for the Warriors, who have won 10 of their last 11 games. CJ McCollum had 25 points for Portland, which had won its last three games. Golden State swept all four games against the Blazers this season.
SEATTLE (AP) — Briana Roberson scored all 14 of her points in the second half, Brittany McPhee led No. 10 Stanford with 17 points and the Cardinal rallied from an 18-point first-half deficit to beat No. 7 Washington 72-68 on Sunday night. Kelsey Plum was again the star for Washington, scoring 44 points before fouling out in the closing seconds, but her supporting cast provided very little and allowed the Cardinal a chance to rally. Plum’s attempt at a tying 3-pointer with 6 seconds left bounced off the rim. It was her only 3-point miss of the game.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) — Josh Hawkinson scored a career-high with 31 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, helping Washington State beat Arizona State 91-83 on Sunday.

They prevented a desert sweep by getting the ball into Hawkinson and out on the break .

(AP) — Sydney Wiese scored 23 points and No. 11 Oregon State made its last seven shots to close the game with a 15-4 run to defeat rival Oregon 67-60 for the second time in three days on Sunday, and the 13th straight time overall. Wiese, who made just 1 of 4 3-pointers through three quarters, made 3 of 4 behind the arc in the fourth, scoring 11 points and surpassing 1,600 for her career.
