After Action Report
The Warriors handled the Suns 110-97. The Warriors won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Warriors; Warriors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Warriors' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Warriors · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
