Kevin Durant, Devin Booker Praised By NBA Fans as Suns Beat Stephen Curry, Warriors
The Phoenix Suns defeated Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors 113-105 at home on Saturday night, and fans were buzzing about the performance from stars Kevin Durant and Devin Booker.
Durant finished the night with 21 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks while shooting 7-of-20 from the field in the victory. Booker added 27 points, three rebounds and nine assists to the mix.
The Suns improved to 11-8 on the season, as the Warriors dropped to 12-7.
Phoenix bounced back from a 127-117 loss to the Brooklyn Nets at home on Wednesday by taking down Durant's former team in style.
On the other side of the court, Curry posted 23 points, seven rebounds and four assists.
After a hot start to their season, Curry and the Warriors have lost four straight games as they continue to navigate a Klay Thompson-less offense.
Phoenix has also been struggling of late, losing six of their last eight games, but with the victory over Golden State, they will look to shift their momentum behind their two go-to players.
Durant posted a season-high 35 points earlier this month in the Suns' 118-116 victory over Philadelphia. He is averaging 27.4 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game this season, while shooting 55.1 percent from the field.
Booker is averaging 24.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 6.5 assists while shooting 44.6 percent from the field. He has been able to capitalize on the Suns' ability to spread the floor, taking full advantage of the talent they have this season.
As the Suns secured another win, fans took to social media to praise their stars in Durant and Booker.
On Tuesday, the Suns will look to secure back-to-back victories as they face the 10-7 Denver Nuggets on the road.
