Stupid decision by booker to go 1 on 4. Turnover. Ayton picks up the foul.

It's not the way to end the half.

Warriors 69 - Suns 52

Booker with 3 personal fouls.

And now another stupid decision to shoot a long shot then get a foul.

I’ve been talking about booker and his fouls lately. Dumb to pick it up with the end of the first half coming up.

Too many easy shots for the Warriors.

Booker is good but he needs to get under control with his decisions at times.

Wish coach would have a called a timeout earlier instead of letting them get a 10 point lead.

Warriors really can defend booker.

Thompson makes him look bad routinely.

Wow booker was pretty bad in that half. His defense was fine but the TOs and bad shots were brutal.
Ayton was aggressive inside. Fun to watch.

I doubt a timeout changes much. They just have better talent

Least we have Lindsey Smith to brighten up the day.

Eh, this is just a case of incredible talent disparity. Warriors just kicked it in a different gear towards the end of the half. Booker needs to calm down and Ayton needs to start being more aggressive. He looked like bender out there a couple of times.

Would have been better to let them rattle off 10 straight points. We were tied.

We have a finite amount of timeouts. Relying on them when playing a team with better talent is not a good idea.

Sometimes the players have to take it upon themselves

You mean Ayton was aggressive and Bender looked like aggressive Ayton out there? I was impressed by both of them.

Sort of like when the Thunder kicked it into gear on their last meeting.

I like how Ayton is taking time with his shot in the lane.

I like that ayton is catching it 12 ft out and actually taking a couple dribbles to get closer.

I know the Suns are not losing because of the officiating, but this is awful. You can't look at Curry or KD without having a foul called on you.

I'd like to see Moreland get some minutes tonight. I'm not expecting a lot. Only want to see him play.

However, if Bender is doing it, I'm fine with that.

Crawford with a not so good pass to Ayton.

And those two are masters of initiating the contact and gettin the call.

Wish Ayton could figure out what a pump fake is.

The Warriors easily get dribble penetration while the Suns usually have to try to pass the ball inside. This is where a point guard can help the Suns by penetrating and passing the ball closer to the basket.

Oubre gets mauled and no call. Leads to AI free throws.
