Is this the game that stops the streak? Warriors at home wanting revenge, reclaim being #1 and stop the Suns streak.

Suns will need to bring their A game for sure. Can Bridges shut down Curry again? Bridges played 41 minutes last night….

Something to keep an eye on for tonight. DA did a good job on switches, he's gotta stay solid again tonight if/when he comes out to the perimeter.

Trying to get some first hand info on Klay’s status? Maybe this was the plan all along for getting rid of our g league team.

I don't have high hopes for a win in this one, for all the obvious reasons. We're on the second night of a back-to-back (a "SEGABABA" as some of the Suns Twitter folks call it). We don't have our arguably best player, Booker. They're at their home court. Steph had an unnaturally poor game last time, even accounting for Bridges's defense. A lot of their other role players were off (other than notably Poole). They were missing Iguodala. Etc. etc. I think this rematch will mean more to them than it will to us. It'll be really hard to go into their house and get a win on tired legs without Booker.

That said, if we somehow win this game, hoooooooooooo boy. We will have huge bragging rights. We'd have a completely undisputed claim to being the #1 team in the league, and we'd really be in the Warriors' heads going forward. And of course the streak would live on. Would LOVE to see that.

As much as CP3 clutch scoring is critical, his mastery will be controlling the pace and timely plays throughout the game. The game basically will be about us stopping Warriors from those runs with quick consecutive buckets, probably a couple 3s that will get their crowd in a frenzy.

Curry was a little off yes but our halfcourt scheme was quite good and the switching/communication top notch. He obviously will shoot better tonight but as I said above our best chance is to limit their 3s in transition, especially his.

That's where Cam P also comes in cause CP3 will have to sit. As I mentioned last night, when yung fella gets hot he is fun to watch but sometimes that leads to quick shots and possessions where nobody else touched the ball. Those can be dangerous because again, if he misses and the Warriors get out on the break afterwards those sequences can lead to quick 6 or 7-0 runs.

Limit turnovers, DA n JaVale big boy em again and let's see how things shake out

Game plan seems to be to get the ball to Ayton…he’s been aggressive looking for his shot so far and even drawn a couple fouls.

Wow. That dude for Golden State had one of the nastiest dunks I've ever seen over Javale.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Didn't look good for Mikal. Maybe a hand/wrist thing.
