PHOENIX — Isaiah Thomas scored 15 of his 22 points in the fourth quarter to lead the Phoenix Suns to a come-from-behind 107-95 victory Sunday over the Golden State Warriors, leaving the NBA with no unbeaten teams.
Fellow reserve Gerald Green added 16 of his 19 points in the final quarter, when the Suns surged ahead after trailing by eight through three.

Draymond Green added 22 points and nine rebounds for the Warriors (5-1), who played without Klay Thompson (sprained right hand).
The Suns took an 83-82 lead on three free throws by Green with 8:55 to go, and led 90-86 on a 3-pointer by Green with 6:07 left. The key basket came from Marcus Morris, who drained a 3-pointer with 3:41 remaining to give the Suns a 100-89 lead.
