You could think of Dec. 27, 2019, as the night Alec Burks slayed the Suns. Looking at what the Warriors did well, however, would ignore all the ways the Suns lost this game themselves. Burks and his Golden State teammates took over when it mattered, but the same demons that have followed the Suns the past month again peaked into the Chase Center and cursed the Suns.
Phoenix led this game, 78-66, heading into the final period. Devin Booker was hot, with 28 points on the night. The Suns were dominating the glass.
