NBA 2018-2019: 3 Talking points from Phoenix Suns vs Golden State Warriors
Final Score: Phoenix Suns 115 - Golden State Warriors 111
The Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns are two entirely different teams. The Suns are a lottery team and the Warriors are on top of the Western Conference. The Suns have a record of 16-52 and the Warriors are 45-21.
Their playoff hopes are officially over but the Suns are not giving up. As the end of their season approaches, the Suns got a big win of the Warriors. They beat the Golden State Warriors in a close game. They beat the Warriors 115-111.
The Suns are a talented, young team that is still rebuilding. They have their star in Devin Booker and a skilled center in DeAndre Ayton. The Suns are headed in the right direction and have the chance to add another piece.
With their current record, the Suns will likely receive a top-3 pick. It is between them, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the New York Knicks. If the Suns draft a player such as Ja Morant of Murray State or Zion Williamson of Duke, they'll improve.
Until then, the Suns have 14 games remaining in the season. The rest of their season will have ups and downs, but the draft will help things get better. Their win over the Warriors is one of the highlights of their remaining season.
It was a great win over one of the best teams in the NBA. Now, the Suns have confidence and can finish their season strong. This game does not do much for either team's records, but it was still a great game. Here are three talking points from the Suns' win over the Warriors.
#3 The Suns snap their 18-game skid against the Warriors
With their win over the Warriors, the Suns finally snapped their losing streak against Stephen Curry and the Warriors.
The Suns held the record for the longest active losing streak to a single opponent. The Warriors beat the Suns 18-straight games before their 115-111 loss. This was the first time since November 9, 2014 the Suns beat the Warriors.
They beat the Warriors 107-95 in 2014. The Suns' star player Devin Booker was not even with the Suns at that time. The Suns drafted Booker a year later. So, this gives an idea of how long it has been since the Suns beat the Warriors.
