With no hoops on the calendar, Warriors Wire is rewinding the tape back through Golden State’s history for memorable matchups, standout performances and everything else in between.
In a 2016 matchup against the Phoenix Suns at Oracle Arena, the trio of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Kevin Durant turned in a combined effort that could only be replicated by Golden State’s rotation of All-Star talent.
With Devin Booker and the Suns in town, the Warriors displayed just how dangerous their scoring attack could be with a newly signed player like Durant roaming the court.

Coming off four consecutive victories, the Warriors welcomed Booker, T.J. Warren and the Phoenix Suns to Oakland. Although the Suns were able to lead the game throughout the first quarter behind the play of Warren and Eric Bledsoe, the Suns had no answer for Golden State’s group of All-Stars.
Curry tallied 30 points on 9-of-17 shooting from the field with six rebounds, six assists and two steals in 37 minutes. Thompson matched his Splash Brother with 30 points on 11-of-18 shooting with two boards and an assist in 33 minutes. Both Curry and Thompson knocked down five 3-pointers each against the Suns.
Durant backed up his new teammates with 29 points on 10-of-21 shooting from the field with nine rebounds, five assists and two blocks in 38 minutes.
Following high caliber performances from Curry, Durant and Thompson, Golden State’s fourth All-Star Draymond Green added a near triple-double effort with 14 points, 11 assists and seven rebounds.
Curry, Thompson and Durant combining for 89 points helped push the Warriors past the Suns for Golden State’s fifth straight victory, 133-120.
