Klay Thompson netted 24 points, while Draymond Green added 10 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists for the Warriors, who have won six straight games.
"Good win for us, we had to fight for it. They played well, shot the ball well," Curry said.
Andrew Bogut posted four points, five boards and three assists in just under 20 minutes off the bench in his second game back from a knee injury.
Kyrie Irving tallied 23 points, six rebounds, five assists and three steals, Kevin Love supplied 17 points and 14 boards and J.R. Smith scored a game- high 27 points for Cleveland, which has dropped seven of its last eight games.

"We were there, just got to be better with the ball and not lose our intensity level there at the end," Cavs coach David Blatt said.
After Irving hit a jumper to give Cleveland a 66-64 lead midway through the third quarter, Golden State responded with an 11-0 run to seize control. Curry sunk a pair of foul shots and nailed a 3-pointer to jumpstart the surge and Harrison Barnes' alley-oop dunk capped it for a 75-66 advantage.
Justin Holiday's right baseline jumper in the waning seconds of the frame upped Golden State's spread to 84-76 heading into the fourth.
