AFP - Stephen Curry scored 26 points as the Golden State Warriors survived a furious late onslaught from the Utah Jazz on Monday to stretch their record-breaking unbeaten season start to 19 games.

The reigning NBA MVP came to the Warriors' rescue once again, producing a superb three-pointer with seconds left to put Golden State ahead 104-101 just moments after Utah had levelled.

It was yet another moment of inspiration from Curry, a talismanic figure for the reigning NBA Champions who have now edged one game closer to the Los Angeles Lakers' all-time winning streak record of 33 games.

Curry contributed six rebounds and five assists as the Warriors held their nerve in the face of a spirited Utah performance at the Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City. The defeat saw Utah's season record fall to 8-8.
