OAKLAND, Calif. – In 48 hours, the Suns want to go from a team that trailed Dallas by 23 points on Monday night to one that can challenge the NBA champions Wednesday.
The Suns have enough internal issues without having to worry about an opponent that appeared unbeatable until Saturday, when Milwaukee became the first team to beat Golden State in 25 games this season.
The Warriors still have a 28-game home winning streak on the line, as the NBA’s most potent and electrifying offense gives another rating boost to an ESPN telecast.
The Suns have a seven-game losing streak at Oracle Arena and the memory of being routed at home by Golden State 135-116 three weeks ago, when the Warriors set a NBA record by making 15 first-half 3-pointers.
