Suns 107, Warriors 95


Guards Gerald Green and Isaiah Thomas combined for 31 points in the fourth quarter as the Phoenix Suns rallied from a 12-point deficit in the third to hand the Golden State Warriors their first loss of the season, 107-95 on Sunday.

Thomas finished with 22 points and Green added 19 as the Suns denied the Warriors its best start since moving to the Bay Area.

Guard Goran Dragic had 19 points and forward Marcus Morris added 17 for the Suns, who had lost three of their last four games but avoided the fourth-quarter shooting woes that have plagued them, outscoring Golden State 36-16 to win going away.
