After Action Report

In Golden State, the Warriors pulled away from the Suns 97-85. Ugly basketball, but the Warriors did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Warriors; the Warriors carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Warriors locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
