As the game entered the second half, the Suns showed their strength even more, and they played a wave of counterattacks in the third quarter to chase the score to 67-66. In the fourth quarter, the Warriors' state declined significantly, and the Suns played a wave of 16-4 offensive with tough defense and excellent offense, and stretched the score to 83-70 in one fell swoop. Despite Curry's last-minute pushback, the Warriors were unable to turn the tide and eventually lost to the Suns 91-76.
In this game, the Suns' performance was remarkable, in addition to the Big Three, Okogie, Goodwin, Saric and other players played well, their defense was extremely tough, and the Warriors' scoring points were almost limited to nowhere to exert their strength. In addition, the Suns' offense was also excellent, with Booker contributing 18 points in the game and Metu scoring 17 points, and the performances of both players were considered key to the team's victory. In contrast, the performance of the Warriors is a bit bleak, except for Curry, the other players play more averagely, especially in the absence of Durant, the Warriors' offense seems a little single.
In addition, the Warriors also have a lot of problems on the defensive end, and the Suns' players tend to easily find gaps on the offensive end and get easy offensive opportunities. In addition, the game also exposed the Warriors' lack of roster depth. In Durant's absence, the Warriors struggled to find a consistent offensive spot, and their bench players didn't bring much support to the team on the offensive end. This also reflects that the depth of the Warriors' roster needs to be further improved. Overall, the game showcased the strength of the Suns and the lack of depth of the Warriors.
For the Suns, they have already outperformed many expectations this season, and the team is gradually becoming a formidable force under the leadership of the Big Three. For the Warriors, they will need to adjust the depth of the roster and further improve the overall strength of the team to remain competitive in the new season.
