Suns win 123-115 to serve Warriors seventh defeat of the season

Kevin Durant scored 32 points and Devin Booker added 25 as the Phoenix Suns won their fifth straight game by beating the Golden State Warriors 123-115 on Wednesday night.

The Suns built a 23-point lead into the third quarter, but the Warriors managed to cut the advantage to 118-115 with 19 seconds left on the clock after Durant was called for a technical foul.

The Warriors are now in deep trouble, having lost seven of their past eight games, falling to 7-9 for the season. Golden State point guard Chris Paul was ejected in his return to the desert after receiving two technicals late in the second quarter for arguing as he was given a special tribute by the Suns before the start of the game.
