Phoenix - Golden State 96: 104.
The Suns have burned the Warriors in a heroic and clever game, and continue their tremendous momentum, equaling the Western leader - both teams have a positive balance of 3:18.
And if we already mentioned balances, then Phoenix equaled its record, when it recorded a 17th straight win - amazing.
The hottest team to date in the NBA once again received a leadership display from veteran center Chris Paul, who scored 15 points, handed out 11 assists and added 5 steals.
He was second on the scoring list only for Dandra Eaton who led with 24 points and picked up 11 rebounds.

Equally important was the defense game of the Suns.
Although they scored 96 points, teamwork made it very difficult for Warriors star Steph Kerry who finished the game with just 12 points.
With a staggering percentage from the field (19%) he mostly harmed Golden State, which was led by Jordan Paul with 28 points.
Brooklyn - New York 110: 112.
It was tight, it was tough, and on paper just another game in the regular season, but the Hunts' win over the Knicks was historic, because for the first time ever they are leading the team balance sheet, 101: 102.
It could easily have ended differently, in a game where Kevin Durant woke up late for Brooklyn, the one dragged from the first minute by James Harden, until KD started sniping his way to 27 points, 11 of them in the final quarter.
Harden.
Led Brooklyn until he ran out of power,
Harden himself was very close to a triple-double, scoring 34 points, taking down 10 rebounds and handing out 8 assists, before coming off the hardwood floor.
However, it was James Johnson, who scored the winning points twice from the penalty line, two seconds to go.
Alan Brex with 25 points and Julius Randall who was amazing with 24 points, 9 rebounds and 8 assists did not help the New Yorkers escape another loss.
Sacramento - LA Lakers 117: 92.
Missing LeBron James, who apparently fell in Corona, the Los Angeles Lakers came to the Kings' hall to close an account after Saturday's loss.
It was tight until towards the end of the third quarter, so the visitors pressed the gas.
The Lakers' second-half result was a resounding 33:67, with Anthony Davis leading the way with 25 points and assist from Russell Westbrook who scored 23 of his own and Malik Monk who added 22, including six threes.
The Lakers again with a positive balance (11:12).
First Holmes scored 27 points for Sacramento which suffered a second consecutive defeat by at least 25 points.
Where was Buddy the boy?
His 5 points tell the story of the Kings tonight, and maybe even of a poor half-second.

In two more games:
Memphis came back from Toronto with a 91:98 win, thanks to 25 points from Jaren Jackson Jr..
Pascal Siakam scored 20 points for the losers.
Portland knew not to get involved with the weak Detroit and won 92: 110.
CJ McCollum excelled in the Blazers with 28 points, Cade Cunningham led the Pistons with 26 points.
