The clash between the Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns tonight had fans on the edge of their seats. Following their triumph over Dandre Ayton in Portland, Kevin Durant and the Suns were eager to add another victory; this time against Chris Paul. However, they couldn’t directly hand Paul a loss as the former Suns guard made an early exit from the game.

In the closing moments, the Warriors faced a daunting challenge in narrowing the gap on the Phoenix scoreboard. Despite their efforts, things didn’t quite work out, culminating in KD sealing the game with free throws over a flopping foul. Furthermore, Durant is now on a 14-game streak of scoring 25+ points.

Warriors have disciplinary issues

The absence of Draymond Green in the lineup is exposing the Warriors’ current struggles. They find themselves in the midst of their worst stretch this season; with the situation appearing to worsen. Compounding the issue is the incident involving Chris Paul, which could have been easily avoided.

Chris Paul and Draymond Green serve as the primary floor generals for the Warriors, a role that is crucial given that several teams don’t even have one. So, to extract the maximum potential from the team, it’s imperative for the leaders to be in top form and maintain control over their actions on the court.

Stephen Curry’s struggles can pave the way for Klay Thompson

In the game, Stephen Curry posted 16 points; sitting as the third-highest scorer for the Warriors. Leading the charge was Klay Thompson with an impressive 23 points, closely followed by Dario Daric, who added 17 points. Despite attempting 33 shots from beyond the arc, the Warriors struggled to find their mark; connecting on only 10 of them. Curry clearly had an off night as he managed only 1 three out of 8 long-range attempts.

On the other hand, Klay Thompson stepped up to fill the void left by Curry’s subdued performance; unleashing his own fireworks. The other half of the splash brother launched 10 three-pointers, sinking 6 of them. Thompson’s sharpshooting proved instrumental in compensating for Curry’s off night.

Chris Paul and Scott Foster need to be talked to

In a pivotal moment, the Warriors suffered a significant setback, with Chris Paul being ejected early. The incident, however, brought the ongoing feud between Paul and veteran official Scott Foster into the spotlight. It all began with a foul call against CP3 on the perimeter; followed by a conversation between Paul and Foster that escalated into a heated moment, with words being exchanged.

Throughout recent years, Paul has not shied away from expressing his grievances with Foster. Moreover, Paul has a playoff record of 3-17 when officiated by Foster. The fact only adds fuel to the fire brewing between the two names. Furthermore, the NBA has seen some very controversial calls this season. With Paul’s ejection now amplifying the issue, it could potentially serve as a catalyst for the NBA to address and rectify the concerns surrounding officiating in the league.
