SAN FRANCISCO (AP) \u2014 Stephen Curry had 28 points, nine rebounds and six assists, Jimmy Butler scored 25 points, and the Golden State Warriors snapped a three-game losing streak by beating the Phoenix Suns 119-116 on Saturday night.<\/p>\n
Jordan Goodwin\u2019s 3-pointer with 1:10 left made it a two-point game before Butler answered on the other end with a driving layup and three-point play. Collin Gillespie missed baseline 3 with 18 seconds remaining and Curry converted a pair of free throws before Gillespie connected from deep with 10 seconds to go \u2014 and Curry scored again to go 5 of 6 for 14 points in the fourth quarter.<\/p>\n
Devin Booker scored 38 points for the Suns. Dillon Brooks scored 22 points and made his first five shots as Phoenix was a sizzling 70.8% in the opening quarter for a 44-32 lead, but dealt with foul trouble late. <\/p>\n
Draymond Green was ejected with 10:39 left in the first half following consecutive technical fouls \u2014 the first for shoving Gillespie from behind then another apparently for continued arguing \u2014 and coach Steve Kerr also received a technical for protesting the ejection.<\/p>\n
Green received his first technical for shoving Gillespie from behind moments after blocking his drive on the other end that started the heated back-and-forth. Then Green\u2019s second technical apparently came for continued arguing, as he carried on despite efforts by teammates, Warriors officials and security to push him away.<\/p>\n
This game quickly became the second straight testy meeting between the teams after Phoenix escaped with a 99-98 win at home Thursday. Brooks was called for a Flagrant 1 foul with 38.3 seconds left in that one when he hit Curry in the stomach after a 3-point attempt.<\/p>\n
Brooks was booed at every chance by the fans in Chase Center two nights later, then Warriors forward Trayce Jackson-Davis made a rough offensive foul on Brooks late in the second quarter that sent the Suns star hard to the floor.<\/p>\n
Golden State guard Buddy Hield had his streak of 195 straight games played snapped. Teammate Jonathan Kuminga missed the game with an illness.<\/p>\n
Up next<\/p>\n
The Suns return to the desert to host the Lakers on Tuesday night while the Warriors host Orlando on Monday.<\/p>\n
