The Warriors won a pulsating 113-112 game against the Phoenix Suns
This was the second signature accomplishment of the season for Golden State
Curry put on his game-winning shot cape, with a national TV audience looking on, banishing the sub-.500 record likely for good.
Beating the Suns, getting key stops, with Curry scoring a team-high 30 points and draining a game-winner with less than one second remaining confirms that the faltering Warriors of the first three months have been replaced by a group consistently submitting evidence of quality hoops.
Green has been the catalyst for this newfound momentum, bringing his typical zest but not allowing it to boil over. He's given them a lift every game since he returned.
Accuracy
The Warriors conquered their clutch game demons and buried any lingering pessimism regarding their ability to beat elite teams in NBA

The article is deceptive because it omits important information that contradicts the author's claim of a close and exciting game. The article does not mention that Durant scored 24 points for the Warriors, which is more than Booker's 32 points for the Suns.

The article also does not mention that Kuminga led Golden State with 13 points at halftime, which shows that he played an important role in keeping the Warriors ahead for most of the second quarter. By omitting these details, the author is trying to downplay Durant and Kuminga's contributions and make it seem like Curry was the only reason for the Warriors' victory.
