"The worst aspects of a wretched stretch of Warriors play were on full display in Phoenix on Thursday night. The turnovers, the stagnant possessions, the missed boxouts and slow defensive rotations: the usual suspects of the Warriors' losing skid were accounted for in the second half. And yet, somehow, thanks to more Dillon Brooks shenanigan's and clutch Curry and Butler shotmaking, the Warriors got to lose an 99-98 heartbreaker instead of being blown out for the team's third consecutive loss."
"Despite being the victims of 20-6 and 18-4 second-half runs, the Warriors were somehow leading by one with four minutes remaining after Brandin Podziemski knocked down a tough stepback 3-pointer. But with the momentum on their side, the Warriors fumbled the lead with two ghastly turnovers that led to four points as part of an 8-0 run. But after trailing by five following a missed Curry shot, Dillon Brooks gave the Warriors a lifeline."
Warriors lost 99-98 in Phoenix after Jordan Goodwin made a late free throw following a Moses Moody foul with 0.4 seconds remaining. Turnovers, stagnant possessions, missed boxouts, and slow defensive rotations plagued the second half. The Suns posted 20-6 and 18-4 second-half runs yet Golden State still led by one with four minutes remaining after Brandin Podziemski's tough stepback 3-pointer. Two late, costly turnovers sparked an 8-0 Suns run that erased the lead. Dillon Brooks committed a flagrant foul on Stephen Curry, who made free throws to tie the game at 98. Devin Booker scored 23 second-half points; Podziemski finished with 18 off the bench.
