The Warriors will hit the road for their last long road trip, beginning Wednesday in Los Angeles.
SAN FRANCISCO — Klay Thompson scored 33 points in the first half and the Warriors managed to keep the Phoenix Suns at bay Monday night in Golden State’s 123-112 win.
The Warriors finally snapped out of their trend of lethargic starts with their loudest opening quarter of the season. Golden State attacked first, pulling ahead by as many as 25 points in the opening frame. Thompson was a big reason for that. He opened the flood gates early, pouring in 18 points in his first eight minutes of the game before adding another 15 in the second quarter. Then he hit a 3-pointer over his arch nemesis Devin Booker just before the break to send the Warriors into the locker room up 75-58.
Thompson cooled off in the third, and the Suns, who were without Kevin Durant, did their best to battle back. The Warriors watched their 17-point lead dwindle to just three with 4:30 left in the third.
