The Golden State Warriors snapped a three-game skid with a hard-fought 119-116 win over the Phoenix Suns. Stephen Curry paced Golden State with 28 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. Devin Booker poured in 38 for Phoenix.

With everything happening around the Golden State Warriors, there have been trade rumors surrounding Steph Curry, while coach Steve Kerr’s future at the Bay Arena is also under great scrutiny.

SAN FRANCISCO — Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr had a goal for his team before the new year began: be a top-four seed in the Western Conference.

Buddy Hield has long been defined by two elite traits: his shooting and his availability. A career 39.5% shooter from deep, Buddy Hield ranks in the top 15 for most three-pointers made in NBA history.
