Five games were on tap around the Association on Sunday when two teams continued to be red hot while another took yet another tumble. Here is a recap of Sunday’s notables:

Devin Booker led the way for Phoenix with 27 points and 9 dimes, while Kevin Durant added 21 points and 10 rebounds. Stephen Curry, who became the 29th player to join the 24,000 points club on Sunday, finished with 23 markers and 7 rebounds. Buddy Hield hit two triples to move up to 17th all-time in three-point field goals made at 1,989, overtaking Jason Kidd.
