In a thrilling matchup on November 30, 2024, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Phoenix Suns 115-102 at the Chase Center, showcasing a dynamic performance led by Stephen Curry. Curry, who scored 38 points, efficiently executed a series of three-point shots, converting 7 out of 13 attempts from beyond the arc. This game marked a significant improvement for the Warriors, who have been grappling with inconsistent performances earlier in the season.
The Suns faced a tough challenge without the presence of Bradley Beal, who was sidelined due to back spasms. Beal’s absence was felt, especially in the third quarter when the Warriors extended their lead. Phoenix coach Frank Vogel acknowledged the impact of Beal’s injury, stating, “Not having Brad out there changes our dynamic, and we need to find other ways to make plays.”
Kevin Durant, now playing for the Suns, also had a notable game, contributing 24 points and handing out 6 assists. Durant commented on facing his former team, saying, “It’s always a little different, but at the end of the day, it’s just basketball. We need to focus on our game plan and execute.”
The Warriors’ victory was crucial as they aimed to solidify their playoff positioning in a competitive Western Conference. Coach Steve Kerr praised his team’s effort, stating, “It was great to see the energy and intensity tonight. We need to carry this momentum into our next games.”
As the season continues, teams are now looking ahead for key matchups, with the Warriors’ next game against the Denver Nuggets on December 2, 2024, while the Suns will look to recover against the Los Angeles Lakers after the disappointing loss to Golden State.
