Whenever Stephen Curry matches up with his old buddy Kevin Durant, you know something wild is about to happen. Saturday’s game was no different. The Warriors came out on top. Despite KD putting up 31 points and Bradley Beal adding 28, the Phoenix Suns fell short in a 109-105 loss to the Golden State Warriors. With less than a minute left in the game, the Warriors made the clutch plays to seal the win. This game has left KD sad.

Durant had a rough fourth quarter, missing all of his field goals and scoring only three points—all from the free-throw line. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he also racked up three turnovers in the final period. That gave him a total of eight for the game, and let’s be real, that’s way too many for a player of his caliber.

He took responsibility for some of the mistakes that cost his team the game. “I’m playing against the whole team every time we go. So, I’m ahead. I’m trying to make something happen later in the clock.” he said after the game. Durant acknowledged that playing through multiple defenders late in the shot clock often leads to mistakes.

“Sometimes late in the clock, I might have to play through two or three people. You try to get something, and that’s where I feel like my turnovers came from, trying to make something happen,” Durant said. “I’m gonna have more turnovers trying to make something happen. I’m probably making more shots, I can get better at making more passes. You know, I’m just learning, getting better, trying to see where I can do to be effective.” the 2x Finals MVP said.

Without Devin Booker, the Suns don’t seem the same. Booker carried the Suns without Durant and Beal at the start of the season, but it looks like the other two of the Big Three can’t return the favor. Their roster depth isn’t enough for them to win. Beal isn’t on the same level as he once used to be. And they have now lost 5 of their previous 6 games. And the last quarter collapse, oof that was hard to watch.

How did Kevin Durant’s turnover cost the Suns a victory?

With 3:45 left, the Suns’ lead vanished after a Beal turnover followed by Curry’s floater and a missed Beal three. Dennis Schroder scored at the rim, putting Golden State up 100-99. Durant then turned it over, and the Warriors took the lead with free throws.

Curry missed a couple of shots you’d expect him to make, letting Phoenix briefly regain a 102-100 lead. But a quick Schroder three changed things again. Phoenix’s offense stalled, with Durant and Beal struggling to execute. Another turnover allowed the Warriors to capitalize, and after a missed Curry shot, Durant grabbed the rebound and hit two clutch free throws, giving Phoenix a 105-104 edge with 30 seconds remaining.

Then came the game-winner for Golden State. They ran a perfect play, using Curry as a decoy to free up Jonathan Kuminga. Green passed to Kuminga, who drew a foul on Durant. Both free throws gave Golden State the lead for good.

Durant finished with 31 points but had eight turnovers. Beal added 28 points, but both stars went quiet in the fourth. They combined for just seven points in the final period. Meanwhile, Okogie and Dunn stepped up, with Okogie grabbing six offensive boards. It was a tough loss for Phoenix, but the fight continues.
