The Golden State Warriors will travel to Phoenix to take on the Suns. For the Warriors, they are coming off a disappointing loss to the Portland Trail Blazers. It was a back-and-forth game, but the Warriors let the game slip away from them in the final moments. It was indicative of the Warriors’ season so far, which has been a mixed bag.
The Phoenix Suns, on the other hand, have been fantastic this season. After struggling for the past few years to get a playoff position, they are now the second seed in the NBA playoffs. Devin Booker has greatly benefitted from the arrival of point guard Chris Paul. The two have formed one of the best back-courts in the NBA today.
With that in mind, let us take a look at the Warriors visit to the Phoenix Suns

The Suns are in an excellent run of form at the moment. They have gotten some very big wins and have had one of the best records since the turn of the year.

However, Steph can step up against the big teams as he showed with the Clippers and the Lakers.
Prediction: The Suns are able to sneak away with a tight win against a Steph Curry barrage.
