The Golden State Warriors pulled away from the Phoenix Suns late Sunday night behind an offensive barrage from their three top scorers, winning 133-120. Golden State moved to 8-2 on the season, and Phoenix is now 3-7.

However, it was a 27-9 game-closing run for the Warriors that was the difference. Stephen Curry (30 points) struck early, Klay Thompson (30 points) came alive late and Kevin Durant (29 points) contributed plenty of scoring punch throughout the contest. Draymond Green was his versatile self, contributing 14 points, seven rebounds, 11 assists, three steals and two blocks.
