After Action Report

The Warriors snuck past the Suns 99-97. Warriors' offense had its way with the Suns. The Warriors owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Warriors came in with something to prove after a loss. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Suns · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Warriors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Warriors · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
