Now the Phoenix Suns understand what it's like to be that lonely farmhouse out in the middle of Tornado Alley. They held it together for a quarter and a half, but that was an EF5 bearing down on them.
Phoenix led 42-38 with 4:59 left in the 2nd quarter on a Brandon Knight jump shot. The Golden State Warriors proceeded to go on a 21-4 run to close out the 1st half, but the worst was yet to come. The Warriors outscored Phoenix 30-13 over the first seven minutes of the 3rd quarter, and by the time the buzzer sounded on the period, the Suns were staring down a 40-point deficit after Klay Thompson scored 27 of his game-high 43 points in the quarter.
