NBC Sports Bay Area & California • • sports
Key Points:
- The Golden State Warriors secured their first five-game winning streak of the 2026-27 season by overcoming a 17-point deficit to defeat the Phoenix Suns 116-113 at Chase Center.
- Steph Curry led the comeback with a game-high 34 points, scoring 18 in the third quarter after a slow start, and is now averaging exactly 30 points per game at 38 years old.
- Despite Draymond Green's ineffectiveness and ejection in the third quarter, key contributions from Brandin Podziemski (20 points), Charles Bassey (career-high 19 points), and Yaxel Lendeborg (16 points, five rebounds, five assists) helped the Warriors rally.
- The Warriors improved their shooting efficiency after a poor first quarter, especially from three-point range, and capitalized on free throws and fewer turnovers to outscore the Suns in the final three quarters.
- Charles Bassey’s strong performance off the bench, including physical play and effective chemistry with Lendeborg, highlights his growing role in addressing the Warriors’ need for size and athleticism.
