Curry makes a show, Porter decides, and the Warriors defeat the Suns in Phoenix | NBA

However, the name of the last room was Otto Porter. With Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Paul absent, through Covid protocols, the winger started and was crucial. He scored the last 7 points from Golden State, and 10 in the last division. In the total of the game, he scored 19 goals and ended up as the second top scorer in the team. Draymond Green contributed 8 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists, as well as 3 steals and 3 blocks, and he was the minds of the Warriors again.

But heart and lung were curry. In the 37 minutes they were on the field, the Warriors won by 24 points. In the 11 minutes rested, the Suns were 15 points better. This is the second victory in three games of the season against the opponent, in matches more than expected and in a play-off.

In the first, even after losing Booker to injury in the second quarter, Phoenix was able to beat him at home. In the second, the Golden State ran over San Francisco. The Christmas duel was a heavy blow, but the two teams still met again on March 30th. Perhaps with Klay Thompson on the field, as the Warriors star is in the final stages of renovation.

Golden State has 27 wins vs 6 losses. Phoenix has 26 wins and 6 losses. Chris Paul put in a great performance with 21 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists, but the other two stars were missing out in the face of the best defense in the NBA – Phoenix is ​​the second best. Devin Booker scored only 13 points, with 5 baskets in 19 court attempts. Dunder Eaton scored 18 points and 7 rebounds.

The Suns’ next challenge is against the dangerous Memphis Grizzlies on Monday, once again at home. Golden State, who beat the Grizzlies last Thursday, meet the Denver Nuggets on the 28th and 30th, once at home and once away. This is the third consecutive victory for Steve Kerr’s team, to end a series of 5 consecutive victories for the opponent.
