Phoenix Suns and Golden State 8 Feb 2019

I covered the Golden State Warriors at Phoenix Suns game Friday 8 February 2019 for a Spanish publication called The Wing.  I was also at Phoenix Talking Stick Arena for a University of Arizona event celebrating alums Steve Kerr, Andre Iguodala, and Deandre Ayton.

Here is the article I submitted to The Wing:

Golden State Downs Phoenix Suns

(Phoenix, Arizona - 8 February 2019) —-  The bad news is the Phoenix Suns defeat at home against the defending world champion Golden State Warriors marked the thirteenth straight loss for the home team. 

The good news for the Suns is they fought hard through the whole game to finally lose in the fourth quarter 117 to 107 after a Golden State 23 to 6 run in the fourth quarter put the game away.  

Warriors coach Steve Kerr after the game smiled but said “they outplayed us the whole night.”  

For around 200 fans, it was also University of Arizona night at Talking Stick Arena in downtown Phoenix.  After the game, Arizona graduates Steve Kerr and Deandre Ayton came down to the court after the game to talk to the Arizona Wildcat fans in attendance.  

Ayton, by the way, scored 23 points with 12 rebounds. 

With this loss, the Suns stand at 11 and 46.  Golden State is at 39 and 15.
