The Golden State Warriors beat the Phoenix Suns 116-113 at Chase Center on Monday, 2 November, according to the Warriors' match report. Stephen Curry led the scoring and Charles Bassey delivered the best scoring night of his NBA career as Golden State extended its winning run.
Curry leads the recovery against Phoenix
Phoenix controlled the opening stages and led by as many as 17 points, the Warriors' 2 November report says. Golden State responded before half-time, then Curry drove its third-quarter recovery. Brandin Podziemski's floater brought the sides level entering the final period.
Bassey gave the Warriors their first lead with a basket early in the fourth quarter. Phoenix repeatedly drew level, but Golden State held its advantage through the closing minutes. The club's report says late free throws protected the win after the Suns cut the margin to a point.
According to the Warriors' 2 November report, Curry finished with 34 points and Bassey scored a career-high 19 from the bench. Bassey also led his team in rebounds. His contribution mattered on a night when Golden State had spent much of the contest chasing the score.
Another comeback in the Warriors' run
SportsRivo checked its earlier report on Golden State's NBA Cup comeback against the Lakers against the new Warriors recap. The earlier game also required a substantial recovery after a poor opening quarter. The club now says the Suns result was its third consecutive victory after falling behind by double digits. That comparison places the Phoenix comeback within an established run rather than treating it as an isolated finish.
The Warriors' 2 November report records a fifth straight win and says the team moved to 5-3 for the season. The result keeps their current homestand unbeaten, while Bassey's scoring gives the club another documented source of bench production.
What the result changes
- Golden State extends its winning streak to five, as the Warriors' 2 November report confirms.
- Bassey leaves the game with a new career scoring high, adding a significant bench performance to the victory.
- Phoenix loses a game it led for much of the first half, despite keeping the finish close.
Miami visit comes next
The Warriors' 2 November report lists Miami Heat as their next opponents at Chase Center on Thursday, 5 November. The fixture gives Golden State another home game as it seeks to carry the winning run forward.
