In a thrilling showdown, Stephen Curry delivered a game-winning shot to lead the Golden State Warriors (25-25) past the Phoenix Suns (31-22) with a 113-112 victory on Saturday night.
Curry’s clutch performance secured the Warriors their fourth consecutive win. The four-time NBA champion finished the game with a 30-point performance.
Despite facing a formidable opponent in the Suns, who were led by Devin Booker’s 32-point effort and Kevin Durant’s 24 points, Curry’s heroics proved to be the difference-maker.
Jonathan Kuminga contributed 21 points for Golden State, while Draymond Green provided a balanced effort with 15 points, nine assists, and seven rebounds.
The Suns, who acquired Royce O’Neale and David Roddy at the trade deadline, saw O’Neale make his debut, adding three points to the team’s effort.
Despite the intensity of the matchup, Green’s technical foul in the third quarter marked a rare occurrence since his return from suspension in January.
Green’s spirited exchange with Suns center Jusuf Nurkic added an extra layer of intensity to the contest, highlighting the competitive nature of the game.
With Curry’s clutch shot and the team’s collective effort, the Warriors continue to build momentum as they strive for success in the competitive Western Conference.
