The Suns' three-game winning streak was over. The Suns, after losing to the Heat in this game, the record reached 30 wins and 9 losses. The Suns, just 0.5 wins ahead of the warriors, who are second in the West. The Warriors, the second in the league, gained the loss of rival Suns without a game today, which can be described as a profit. The Warriors are currently just 0.5 wins behind the Suns. The Suns' loss allowed the Warriors to narrow the win gap with Phoenix. The Golden State Army will have a greater chance of overtaking their opponents and returning to the first place in the league. With Klay Thompson about to return from injury and Stephen Curry about to return, the Warriors have a good chance of ending the losing streak. The Warriors will re-challenge the league number one.
