OAKLAND, Calif. – Things that you will miss in sports if you blink too long: a home run, a quarterback sack, a hockey or soccer goal and a decisive Golden State Warriors run.
Forget beating the NBA champions. The Suns were going to accomplish something Wednesday night just by leading Golden State for a half at Oracle Arena. The rust of three Warriors off-days was cracking, and Suns reserves T.J. Warren and Mirza Teletovic were clicking.
The Suns led by four. Blink. The Suns trailed by 13.
The fast and furious festivities overwhelmed the Suns in a blur, when Golden State scored 23 points in 3 minutes and 37 seconds of the second quarter.
