After Action Report
In Golden State, the Warriors squeaked past the Suns 83-81. Ugly basketball, but the Warriors did just enough. The Warriors carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Warriors' defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Warriors per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
