<\/figure>\n\n\n\nSAN FRANCISCO (AP) Facing the Western Conference’s two winningest teams on back-to-back nights, the Golden State Warriors pulled off a pair of impressive victories with superstar Stephen Curry struggling with his shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jordan Poole hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 1:43 left, Andrew Wiggins scored the next time down and finished with 38 points, rallying the Warriors past the Phoenix Suns 122-116 on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Draymond Green notched his sixth triple-double of the season and 29th of his career with 11 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds as the Warriors made it two straight clutch wins during the playoff push.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00bbIt was incredible, a lot of guys stepped up,\u00bb Green said. \u00bbFor us to get that win and Steph to struggle shows a lot about the growth of this team. We’ve got two more games. It’s important that we finish those two games strong and try to head into the playoffs rolling.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Curry made a 9-foot jumper with 45 seconds left while falling to the floor, a bright finish to his 21-point performance on another tough outing for him shooting 3-pointers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Golden State – competing with just eight healthy players – secured a spot in the play-in tournament with Monday’s 119-116 win against the Jazz then held on against a talented Suns team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00bbThese last two games have been so important for us against the two teams with the best records in the league,\u00bb Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. \u00bbTonight felt like a playoff game. Phoenix was very well prepared, they had the day off yesterday, so they came out with a great game plan to take the ball out of Steph’s hands.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Devin Booker scored 34 points and knocked down a key 3-pointer with 5:25 left for Phoenix and Paul added 24 points, but the Warriors delivered all the key plays down the stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00bbIt was a tough one, you never want to lose two in a row,\u00bb Booker said, later adding, \u00bbI’m not concerned at all.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poole hit a 3-pointer with 57 seconds left in the third to get Golden State within 93-88 – a night after his successful half-court heave at the third-quarter buzzer against Utah. The Warriors trailed 98-92 Tuesday to begin the fourth and Poole hit another 3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Golden State needed his hot hand given Curry’s struggles from deep for a second straight night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Curry had a 49-point performance with 11 3-pointers in Saturday’s 136-97 thumping of the Thunder, but has been off from long range in two games since: going just 4 for 24 on 3s – 1 for 11 Tuesday and 3 of 13 on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u00bbThe thing that’s bugging me more than anything is we gave up 29 second-chance points to a team that is not known for offensive rebounding the ball,\u00bb Suns coach Monty Williams said. \u00bb… We did a really good job on Curry but Wiggins had one of those nights.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Poole scored 20 points to wrap up Golden State’s final set of back-to-backs as the Warriors won their fourth straight at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phoenix led by as many as 16 and began a sizzling 18 for 26 making 7 of 10 3s to build a 43-30 advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
