Devin Booker scored 27 points and Kevin Durant added 21 to lead the Phoenix Suns over Golden State 113-105 on Saturday, extending the Warriors’ NBA losing streak to four games.

With Bradley Beal sidelined with a calf injury and Jusuf Nurkic sidelined with a quad bruise, the host Suns (11-8) still dominated as Tyus Jones contributed 19 points and Grayson Allen 17.

“We have five guys in double figures,” Durant said. “It wasn’t a great shooting game for me and Book, but everyone contributed on both ends of the floor.”

Durant, who had 10 rebounds, was pleased with Phoenix’s good start, which gave the Suns a 66-49 halftime lead.

“That first half — 66 points, 17 more points — that was pretty much the game,” Durant said. “We hit each other on pocket passes and hit each other on threes. It was beautiful to see.”

The attempt came after Suns coach Mike Budenholzer stressed the team needed to play with greater urgency early in games.

“Coach talked to us about our level of competition in a film session a few days ago,” Durant said. “It has to get better if we want to be the team we want to be.

“I think tonight we just tried to do the little things well – box out, get back on defense, make the right pass. It was a good start to the game.”

Stephen Curry scored 23 points to lead the Warriors, who fell to 12-7.

Curry was back after missing a game with a knee injury, and Andrew Wiggins, who had 18 points, returned to the lineup after a right ankle injury.

In Utah, Dallas star Kyrie Irving scored 30 points and the Mavericks beat the Utah Jazz 106-94.

Quentin Grimes added 24 points for the Mavericks (12-8), while Lauri Markkanen led the Jazz (4-15) with 19 points.
