For the second straight game, the Warriors’ defense set the tone as they managed to beat the Suns for the first time this season.
With the usual variety of shots on a Klay heater, including improbable launches that find the bottom of the net, he poured in 16 of Golden State’s first 24 points, personally outscoring Phoenix 16-9 at that point.
Klay finished with 38 points but managed to put his fingerprints on a game in which he scored only five points in the second half.The Warriors led by as much as 25 points and seemed on their way to an utter blowout of a Phoenix team missing Kevin Durant. But of course, it’s wouldn’t so neat and clean.
After slicing the margin to 17 at the half, the Suns continued their assault in the third quarter, coming within nine with 7:40 left in the quarter and getting as close as three with 4:32 left in the quarter.Kerr believes it's"nuts" Durant has yet to play in front of fans at Chase The Warriors, however, recovered nicely by closing the quarter on an 11-4 run and taking a 98-88 lead.
That spurt was enough to take most of the will out of the Suns, as the Warriors maintained a double-digit lead throughout the fourth quarter to button up the victory.
