After Action Report

The Warriors outlasted the Suns 104-90. The Suns couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Warriors. Warriors' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Warriors' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Warriors bench chemistry carried them. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.

  • Warriors · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
