The Warriors improved to 16-15 on the season, while the Suns fell to 15-16 and suffered their eighth loss in December.

Curry finished the night with 22 points, six rebounds and six assists to secure the win. Kuminga contributed 34 points, nine rebounds and three assists and shot 12 of 20 from the field.

On the other side of the court, Kevin Durant scored 31 points, six rebounds and three assists while Bradley Beal scored 28 points.

Fans took to social media to praise Curry and the ever-improving Kuminga as they led the Warriors to victory:

Andrew Wiggins opened the scoring for the Warriors by sinking a three-pointer off an assist from Curry, tying the game at 3-3 in the first minute after he and Beal exchanged three-pointers.

Curry opened the second quarter with another assist, this time on an alley-oop dunk by Trayce Jackson-Davis, and the Warriors went into halftime trailing 65-61.

Despite Curry’s three-point struggles as he shot 4 of 13 from behind the arc, he continued to contribute on the court as Jackson-Davis took the lead in the third quarter.

The game was tied with 3:28 left when the Warriors began pushing for the win. A 30-foot three by Dennis Schröder gave the Warriors a 104-103 lead with 1:23 left.

A costly foul by Durant with just under 30 seconds left sent Kuminga to the line, where he hit both free throws. Schröder put two of two balls off the line and thus secured the victory.

With the win, the Warriors snapped their three-game losing streak and will look for another win at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday.
