Suns defeat the Warriors 117-109 behind hot shooting

In their third preseason game, the Golden State Warriors fell victim to a hot shooting Phoenix Suns, 117-109. Despite Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant leading the way, the Warriors weren’t looking sharp on defense, and the Suns capitalized all night long.

Curry finished the night with 23 points on 8-of-14 shooting (3-of-8 from three). After missing the last preseason game against the Kings, he was looking in good form, hitting a couple of threes and displaying dribbling exhibitions that elicited a few “oohs” and “ahhs” from the crowd.

With no Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Andre Iguodala, and Shaun Livingston tonight, the Warriors were bound to suffer in terms of defense, and suffer they did.
