The Warriors beat the Suns 116-113 at Chase Center on Monday, extending their winning streak to five games. Golden State rallied after Draymond Green was ejected early in the third quarter, with Stephen Curry scoring 34 points and Charles Bassey adding a career-high 19.
The Golden State Warriors beat the Phoenix Suns 116-113 at Chase Center on Monday, rallying after Draymond Green was ejected early in the third quarter to extend their winning streak to five games. Stephen Curry scored 34 points, and reserve center Charles Bassey had a career-high 19 as Golden State overturned a 10-point deficit.
Green was ejected after a confrontation with Phoenix rookie Khaman Maluach. The San Francisco Chronicle reported that Maluach bumped Green, who then wrapped him up and pushed him to the floor; Dillon Brooks confronted Green immediately afterward. Green received two technical fouls, and crew chief Sean Wright announced the ejection. The incident came early in the third quarter, with Golden State trailing.
The Warriors responded with a 42-point third quarter and outscored Phoenix 23-20 in the fourth. Curry scored 18 points in the third, while Brandin Podziemski finished with 20 points, including 14 after halftime. Bassey’s 19 points came in 22 minutes off the bench. The Warriors shot 31-for-37 at the free-throw line; the Suns made 22 of 29.
Phoenix had opportunities to keep pace: Devin Booker scored 26 points, Mikal Bridges had 21 and Brooks added 18. The Suns led 57-51 at halftime, but Golden State’s 42-36 advantage in the third quarter turned the game. The final score was 116-113, in front of an announced Chase Center crowd of 18,064.
Golden State Wins Without Green
The result extended the Warriors’ streak to five consecutive wins and showed they could finish a close game after losing a central defensive presence. Green played 16 minutes before his ejection, and his absence forced Golden State to reorganize against Phoenix’s lineup. The team’s response was powered by Curry and contributions from the bench rather than a single replacement.
The win also adds a useful measure of resilience, but one game does not resolve the roster questions described in the report. Golden State’s lineup and center depth remain part of the season’s ongoing story. For Phoenix, the loss came despite three players scoring at least 18 points and a strong first half; the Suns were outscored by 12 after halftime.

A Streak Built After a Slow Start
The Warriors began the game poorly, scoring 19 points in the first quarter while Phoenix put up 31. Golden State narrowed the gap in the second, then fell behind again before its third-quarter surge. The win followed a four-game winning streak, making Monday’s result the fifth straight victory.
The Chronicle reported that Golden State opened the season 0-3 after losses to Memphis and Phoenix, including a home-opening defeat to the Grizzlies on Oct. 23. The report said the team did not panic internally, even as its personnel issues remained. Against Phoenix, the Suns used a smaller lineup for an extended stretch after Green’s ejection; Warriors coach Steve Kerr said the change “opened the game up.” Golden State countered with Bassey, whose energy and scoring helped the team take advantage.
““He lit a fire on all of us, and we had to respond. So I’m glad we did.””

Discipline and Roster Questions Remain
The available report does not say whether the NBA will review the confrontation or impose further discipline on Green. The precise sequence and intent behind the contact are described by the Chronicle, while Brooks characterized his own role as an attempt to de-escalate; the competing accounts do not establish a shared interpretation of the incident.
It is also not clear from the report how long Golden State’s current winning run will continue or how the team will address the center-depth concern it identifies. The game establishes that Bassey supplied a major scoring contribution on Monday, not that the performance settles the team’s longer-term personnel needs.
Warriors Turn to Their Next Game
Golden State will look to carry its five-game streak into its next scheduled game. The source report does not specify the next opponent or tipoff time, so those details should be checked against the Warriors’ current schedule. Attention will also remain on any league decision about Green’s ejection and on the team’s ability to sustain its play if he is unavailable.
Phoenix will seek to respond after letting a halftime lead slip away. The report gives no further injury updates or disciplinary announcements for either team, leaving those developments to be confirmed.
