Warriors 116, Suns 113 — NBA Recap

📰Game Recap

The Golden State Warriors overcame an early 12-point deficit to defeat the Phoenix Suns, fueled by a sustained scoring effort across the final three quarters. The Suns established a significant lead in the opening period, outscoring Golden State 31-19, as Devin Booker began his 26-point performance, supported by Miles Bridges who contributed 21 points for Phoenix. However, the Warriors started to chip away at the advantage before halftime.

Golden State narrowed the gap with a 32-26 second quarter, then decisively seized control in the third, posting a 42-36 scoring advantage that brought the game to a tie. Stephen Curry led the Warriors' charge, finishing with 34 points, including five three-pointers, along with six rebounds and seven assists. He received substantial support from Brandin Podziemski, who added 20 points and three three-pointers, and Charles Bassey, who contributed an efficient 19 points and eight rebounds.

Despite Phoenix's consistent offensive output, which included 36 points in the third quarter, the Warriors maintained their momentum. Golden State continued its consistent play into the fourth quarter, outscoring the Suns 23-20 to close out the victory. SportsFBI's pregame model had leaned towards a Warriors win at 57%.
