GAME LEADERS

Harrison Barnes drove through the lane and knocked down the game-winning shot in the final second of a 107-106 thriller against the Suns on Thursday night at Oracle Arena. The shot lifted the Warriors to their 11th straight win, capping a wild sequence of events to close out the game.

After the Dubs held the lead for the majority of the game, the final seven minutes of the game saw eight lead changes and five ties. In the final 10 seconds alone, the lead changed hands three times, but it was the Warriors who got the last laugh as they improved to 62-13 on the season.

The back-and-forth action started early in the fourth quarter when the Suns turned at what was a 14-point hole into a four-point advantage with two and a half minutes left in the game. Stephen Curry then set the crowd abuzz with a 3-pointer to bring the Dubs within one, and fellow Splash Brother Klay Thompson hit a trey of his own to tie it at 102-102 with 34.7 seconds left in the game.
