SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors are still searching for their first winning streak since the middle of November.

With a chance for a third straight victory to build momentum heading into the trade deadline, Steph Curry put up a dud and the Suns shot the Warriors out of their own building.

Curry scored just six points in the first three quarters as the Suns ran up a 20-point lead. A miniature fourth-quarter flurry gave him 14 points overall, but by then the Suns were cruising to a 130-105 victory.

Beyond Curry’s quiet night, the game was decided in the paint. Phoenix got whatever it wanted in the lane, while the Warriors’ season-long struggles at finishing persisted. The Suns outscored the Warriors in the paint 56 to 36 and shot 16-for-17 at the rim compared to Golden State’s 9-for-22 at the cup.

The Suns shot 48.7% from deep, making the Warriors (24-24) defense look silly. Devin Booker dropped a game-high 31 points and former Warriors Kevin Durant provided 19. The Warriors allowed at least 30 points in every quarter.

“We were hoping to follow up the effort from the other night, but it wasn’t there for us,” head coach Steve Kerr said postgame.

Quinten Post was more effective in his second career start than he was against the Thunder. Making smart, quick reads out of the short roll, Post racked up two early assists and nearly had two more. He also hit a pair of above-the-break 3s, stretching Phoenix’s defense in the two-man game with Curry.

Yet Post doesn’t provide any rim protection, and the Suns happily went at him. They played him off the court, ending his night at 13 minutes before garbage time.

Curry didn’t hunt shots early, instead getting his teammates involved. He didn’t even take a shot until 5:14 left in the opening period and finished 5-for-14.
