After suffering three consecutive consecutive defeats and a hasty road trip, the Warriors, who ranked third in the West, returned to their home court and ushered in the challenge of the Suns, who ranked first in the West during the eight-game winning streak.
In the Warriors, Tang Shen + Green + Otto Porter ushered in a comeback at the same time, and Cole was also lined up in this campaign, ready to lead the team to defend the home field and end the losing streak.
On the other hand, on the side of the Suns, although Booker is in a hot state, but this battle is a away game, and the Suns will obviously be caught in a bitter battle!
Finally, after 4 quarters of competition, with a strong start of 12-2, the Suns, which were mainly anti-guests, overpowered the Warriors in the first half and occupied the initiative on the court.
Although after returning from the second half, Jordan Poole felt hot in the third quarter and led the Warriors to play several waves of counter-attacks, clinging to the score all the way and preserving the suspense of the game.
But helplessly in the final final battle, Paul + Booker continued to exert force, Green made a key mistake, and the Warriors could not catch up with the points, so they had to lose.
The Suns, who finally withstood the pressure, also narrowly won the Warriors 107-103 on the road, which was worth the trip to win 9 consecutive wins, but also gave the opposing Warriors 4 consecutive losses!
Rushing to the away game in this game, the Suns continued the fiery momentum during the winning streak, playing a team attack with 5 people scoring in double figures and multi-point blossoming.
In the case of the main forces such as Crowder + Ayton, continuing to perform steadily, the play of the three main players Booker + Paul + Bridges is particularly critical!
Although Booker shot 5 of 21 in this game, he felt average, but he dared to fight and fought hard, and delivered an outstanding performance of 22 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists.
More importantly, throughout the game, Booker has not made a mistake personally, and it can be said that with a simple and clear personal performance, the situation has been opened for the Suns!
In addition, as the core defender of the team, Paul's play in this game also played a crucial role.
Paul was very efficient, starting 32 minutes, shooting nearly 70% of the 6-of-9 shooting, and contributing 15 points, 3 rebounds , 8 assists + 1 steal.
Among them, in the last quarter, he shot 3 shots and shots without false hair, not only led by example, leading the Suns to withstand the pressure, but also almost single-handedly, completely ending the Warriors' attempt to reverse the idea!
Of course, the Suns were able to beat the Warriors in this game, and the performance of team Tigers Bridges was also indispensable.
Bridges was well-defended in this game, starting 40 minutes and shooting a team-high 22 points on 8-of-14 shooting, plus a personal performance of 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal.
Not only did it win on the offensive end, disrupting the Warriors' defensive rhythm and deployment, but also making a great contribution to the Suns to win the game!
On the other hand, on the Warriors side, although the team was tenacious enough in this game, the team failed to withstand the pressure in the last quarter, and finally lost by 4 points, and swallowed 4 consecutive defeats, which obviously made it difficult for home fans to accept.
But rationally speaking, for the Warriors, this battle, the team is not completely without highlights and gains!
After all, in the case of Tang Shen shooting only 5 of 21 shots and feeling cold, the play of Jordan Pooler in this game is indeed remarkable.
Jordan Poole fired widely, scoring seven three-pointers from 11 of the 22-field line in the opening 35 minutes, shooting a game-high 38 points, plus nine rebounds, seven assists, and one steal.
Although he failed to help the Warriors defend the home court on their own, there is one thing to say, the outstanding performance of Jordan Poole in this game has indeed caused great pressure and trouble to the Suns, and it can be said that although it is defeated!
Only for the Warriors, who have lost 4 consecutive games, considering that the team has been officially overtaken by the Lone Rangers in the ranking, it has to be said that the Warriors, whose ranking has dropped to the fourth place in the West, will undoubtedly face more severe challenges and tests in the next step!
For the Lone Rangers, the team also gained profits from this battle, rising to third in the West and mastering some opportunities in the playoffs!
