US EditionWarriors Erase 14-Point Deficit in the Fourth Quarter to Beat the Suns 101-97
Golden State rallied from 14 points down without Stephen Curry to win 101-97, with Pat Spencer scoring a career-high 20 points, Warriors said.
- On Thursday night in Phoenix, the shorthanded Golden State Warriors erased a double-digit fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Phoenix Suns 101-97 as De'Anthony Melton tied it late and Gui Santos' layup with 28.7 seconds put them ahead.
- After recent trades sent Jonathan Kuminga, Buddy Hield and Trayce Jackson‑Davis away, the Warriors arrived thin without Stephen Curry and Kristaps Porzingis, while the Suns missed Devin Booker, Jalen Green, and Allen with a right‑knee injury.
- Pat Spencer's hot shooting led with a career-high 20 points and six 3-pointers, while Gui Santos added 18 points and seven assists as the Warriors made 20 of 55 three-pointers.
- The Warriors snapped a two‑game losing streak and travel to face the Lakers Saturday, with Porzingis expected to join Friday in Los Angeles but unlikely to play.
- Pat Spencer, playing his final two‑way game this season, shows why he's likely to get a standard contract soon and a multiyear deal next year, according to team reports.
