"The Warriors led by 19 at halftime and seemed well on their way to an easy victory and light second-half minutes for Steph Curry and Draymond Green. The Warriors were coming off back-to-back losses in Milwaukee and Indianapolis, setbacks that had brought the momentum of a 4-1 start to a grinding halt. They had played six games in 10 days overall, logging heavy minutes in the process."
"The Warriors led 68-49 at halftime, and by over 20 points in the third quarter, but with a little over two minutes remaining in the third, the Suns had cut the deficit to as little as nine as the Warriors played without Curry. The Suns went on a 20-6 run while Golden State's offense was bogged down by stagnant sets and turnovers."
"But the Suns once again went on a run, cutting the deficit to just 113-105 with 3:34 left. Once Curry checked back in, the Warriors salted away a less-than-smooth victory. Curry led the Warriors with 28 points, Moses Moody put in 24 points off the bench, and Quinten Post scored 14. Curry played 34 minutes, and Green checked out at 33."
Golden State built a large lead early, holding a 68-49 halftime advantage and expanding it to more than 20 in the third quarter. Phoenix trimmed the margin with a 20-6 run while the Warriors struggled with stagnant offense and turnovers. Curry returned to begin the fourth and Golden State pushed the lead back, though the Suns again cut the deficit to 113-105 late. Stephen Curry scored 28, Moses Moody had 24 off the bench, and Quinten Post added 14. Jimmy Butler played only in the first half and finished with two points. The Warriors recorded 33 assists and 15 turnovers.
