It was the fourth ejection of the season for Green, who missed 16 games after he was suspended in December for swinging an arm into the head of Suns center Jusuf Nurkic.But the Warriors, who maintained their tenuous hold on the final play-in berth in the Western Conference, regrouped to finish the first quarter with a 27-11 lead they wouldn't relinquish.
Curry followed with a step-back 3-pointer that sealed the victory with 33.8 seconds remaining, following up his familiar "night-night" celebration with an emotional kick of a court-side chair.
