Golden State Warriors vs Phoenix Suns Game Summary

The Golden State Warriors visited the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday for a crucial Western Conference showdown. Golden State resumed its pursuit of a top-four finish after losing 106-96 to the Houston Rockets on Sunday. The Dubs looked to take advantage of Kevin Durant’s absence to pull off the win.

Steph Curry, who scored three points in 33 minutes in the loss to the Rockets, dropped 13 in the first quarter against the Suns. Curry’s fast start enabled the visiting team to take a 37-24 advantage at the end of the period.

The Warriors opened the next eight minutes with a 17-4 run to start turning the game into a rout. A combination of the Suns' error-prone ways (seven second-quarter turnovers) and Golden State's inside dominance gave the Dubs a 69-43 halftime lead.

​

The Warriors kept the Suns reeling with another defensive masterclass to start the second half. Draymond Green anchored the defense that limited the hosts to 18 points in the period. If the Dubs had not been turnover-prone, they might have taken a much bigger lead than the 95-61 advantage they built before the fourth quarter.

Steve Kerr emptied his bench to start the fourth quarter, which became a march to the finish line by the Warriors.
