Otto Porter Jr. saved seven points of his season-high 19 for a personal scoring flurry in the final 2:09 as the short-handed Golden State Warriors stunned the host Phoenix Suns 116–107 in an NBA showcase game on Christmas Day.

Stephen Curry connected on five 3-pointers during a game-high, 33-point performance—his high Christmas game—as the Warriors (27–6) reclaimed the top spot in the Western Conference with a second win in three head-to-head matchups with the Suns (26–6) this season.
