OAKLAND, Calif. -- One of the hottest shooting guards in the NBA hooks up with one of the coldest shooting backcourts in the league Sunday night when the Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns meet for the second time this season.Kevin Durant poured in 37 points when the clubs dueled Oct. 30 in Phoenix, leading Golden State to a narrow 106-100 victory.Stephen Curry hit nine of his 17 shots, including five 3-pointers, that night, but things have since changed for the leagues reigning Most Valuable Player.Curry had his record-breaking, 157-game streak with at least one made 3-pointer end three games later against the Los Angeles Lakers, and hes been making opponent pay ever since.He set another record three nights later, burying 13 from long range against New Orleans, and followed that up with a total of 11 more in subsequent wins over Dallas and Denver.Curry enters Sundays game having scored 103 points in his last three games, making 24 3-pointers and 34 of his 55 shots in all.Not at all surprising, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after Currys 46-point barrage against the Pelicans on Monday. Hes done it throughout his career where he comes right back off of a bad game and lights it up.The bad news Sunday for the Suns is that another Warrior -- Durant -- has a bounce-back motive after seeing his run of 72 games scoring at least 20 points come to an end in Thursdays victory at Denver.Durant had 18 points in the win, which was Golden States third in a row.Having been off since Thursday, the Warriors face a Suns team that endured a tight game Saturday night, and then traveled after it.The Suns were beaten 122-104 at home by the Brooklyn Nets, a game Phoenix trailed 102-100 before the visitors ran off 17 straight points to send Phoenix to its third defeat in its last four outings.The loss was as much a product of bad shooting by the Suns as it was the late flurry by the Nets. Suns guards Eric Bledsoe (1 for 8), Devin Booker (5 for 18) and Brandon Knight (2 for 13) combined to miss 31 of their 39 shots on a night when Phoenix shot a season-low 37.4 percent.Suns coach Earl Watson said his guards fell right into the trap set up by the Brooklyn defense.This is the first team that played defense the way they played it, the coach observed after the game. They did a great job of taking away the paint.The Suns fired up 107 shots, most in the NBA this season. Almost one-third of them (33) were 3-pointers, probably not a good idea for a team thats shot 29.4 percent from beyond the arc this season, the third-lowest figure in the league.One reason the Suns have found themselves shooting more from the perimeter of late has been the absence of center Tyson Chandler, who has missed the last three games following the death of his mother.The Suns are hoping to get Chandler back for Wednesdays game at Denver.Dalton Risner Youth Jersey . -- The Magic have their first victory of the new year.

She took control of the final from the start, winning 20 of the first 27 points, jumping out to a 5-0 lead.She ran Svitolina all over the court, chasing down shots and placing her own with pinpoint accuracy. Svitolina, a 21-year-old Ukrainian, held off two set points in the sixth game, but Radwanska was able to serve out the set in 29 minutes.I was really feeling good this week, Radwanska said. Everything was working. I was feeling very confident on that court.The second set was much closer. It included three service breaks for each player and a 37-shot rally in the ninth game. Radwanska broke serve in that game to go up 5-4 and seemed to be in control, especially after Svitolina turned her ankle chasing a lob shot.But the 10th seed rallied, breaking back and going up 6-5. Radwanska saved two set points to force the tiebreaker and then took five of the last six points to win it.Svitolina committed 36 unforced errors, including a backhand into the net to end the match.Set points, they come and go in five seconds, Svitolina said. She served two big serves. She placed it really well.Radwanskka had never before made it past the quarterfinals in New Haven, but she had a relatively easy trip this year that included a first-round bye and straight-set wins over Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia, lucky loser Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium and two-time champion Petra Kvitova, whom she beat 6-1, 6-1 in the semifinals.dddddddddddd.She becomes the first top seed to win since Caroline Wozniacki did it in 2011. The title is Radwanskas second this season -- she took the Shenzhen Open in China in January.She takes home just over $130,000 for winning in Connecticut, but she also earned enough points to clinch the U.S. Open Series bonus challenge. That means a chance for up to an extra $1 million, depending on her finish in New York next week, where she will be the No. 4 seed.So now its everything in my power to do good in the US Open, she said with a big grin. It will be worth it, right?Svitolina, who beat Serena Williams in the third round at the Olympics, is now 4-1 in WTA finals, but this was her first at a Premier event. She was playing this tournament for the fourth time and had never before made it out of the first round.She said it was a disappointing first set but an otherwise encouraging week.There is no time to be sad because US Open is just on Monday, she said.
