Friday night Chase Center was rocking as the Golden State Warriors (25-25) took on the Phoenix Suns (31-21). With the clock running very close to empty, Warriors guard Stephen Curry pulled off yet another “miracle shot” hitting a 33-foot three point jumper for a 113-112 win. 

This game a was real see-saw affair with the Warriors hanging on for the win. The Curry shot could very easily be his shot of the year. This was another clutch game for the team and sent the Warrior’s record to the .500 mark (25-25).

This was a wild game from the very beginning to the very end. It was a see-saw game and after the first 12 minutes the Warriors were on top 33-28. The Suns took the second quarter 30-26 but trailed at halftime. The Warriors led by a single point after two quarters 59-58.

The battle continued into the third quarter with the Suns winning it by a single digit 25-24. The Warriors held onto the lead going into the fourth quarter 84-82. This was a real nail-biter but Golden State took it up another level in the final quarter of the game. 

The Suns took the fourth quarter by a single digit 30-29. Golden State hung onto this game winning by the score of 113-112. The fourth quarter in itself was exciting, but the manner in which it came to a close was a real barn burner. 

It all hinged on Curry and what he could do with 7.1 seconds left on the game clock. Time and time again this guy has come up clutch and this game was no exception-a 33-foot jumper for the win. Golden State has now improved to 25-25 and now sits in 11th place in the Western Conference. This was their sixth win in seven games.

This game was filled with tension to the very end. There was a last-minute foul called that was reviewed and the Warriors would go on to win. The monster shot from Curry was the deal buster. He would finish with 30 points, the team high. 

Jonathan Kuminga shot for 21 points. It was another quiet game for Klay Thompson finishing with 5 points and 1 rebound. Gary Payton returned to the court after missing the last 16 games with a left hamstring strain. 

He had a great return game with 11 points and 4 rebounds. Both teams had 14 turnovers in an extremely fast-paced game. The Warriors had 17 three’s with Curry owning nine of them.

Draymond Green had avoided any technicals until tonight. He picked up a technical arguing about a foul call after a successful layup in the third quarter. He was seen exchanging words with Suns center Jusuf Nurkic who was hit in the face by Green back in December which led to his suspension.

Monday night the Warriors will take on the Utah Jazz at Delta Center. Tipoff for that game is scheduled for 6:00 PM.
