Golden State defeated Phoenix 101–97 on February 5 at Footprint Center in a defensive slugfest that fell well short of the 212.5-point Vegas total. D. Brooks led the Suns with 24 points while G. Allen added 21, but Phoenix's 46.3 percent shooting and 16 three-pointers proved insufficient against Golden State's balanced attack. P. Spencer paced the Warriors with 20 points, complemented by G. Santos's 18, as Golden State compensated for a modest 43.4 field-goal percentage with 20 made threes and a decisive second-quarter surge that saw them outscore Phoenix 34–26. The Warriors' 45 rebounds to Phoenix's 37 and edge in defensive rating (107.0 to 112.5) proved decisive in the four-point margin. Phoenix's fourth-quarter collapse—scoring just 15 points—sealed the outcome despite a competitive first half. Golden State's road victory strengthens their playoff positioning while the Suns must address their inconsistent fourth-quarter execution.
