OAKLAND – The Warriors’ three selfless stars usually can make any shot from any distance. In their latest game, though, Kevin Durant suffered a right ankle contusion while Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson often hit nothing but clanks.
The Warriors then fell short in a 115-111 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Sunday at Oracle Arena. The Warriors (45-21) failed to capitalize on the effort and execution in Friday’s win over No. 2 seeded Denver and lost against a Suns team (15-53) that has the Western Conference’s first record. The Warriors entered Sunday’s game against Phoenix with an 18-game winning streak, longest n the NBA.
