Warriors lose against depleted Suns in Steph Curry's return (Golden State of Mind)

The Warriors applied pressure during fourth quarter that gave them a chance, but the hole they dug was too deep to climb out of.

It also requires personnel that pressures the ball without running the risk of being blown by or being called for fouls due to overstepping allowed physicality. It was something they tried to do late in the game, when they were facing one hell of a mountain to climb: That forces them to be sped up in an effort to generate offense; being more hurried increases the chances of mistakes being made. While some of the Suns’ success on offense could be attributed to variance, one can’t help but think there was a bit of tactical oversight. It’s interesting to note that prior to the shoulder subluxation that took him out for 11 games, Curry was used by Steve Kerr in plenty of ball-screen/ball-screen-adjacent actions in the half court. Even Draymond Green — probably the greatest short-roll playmaker of all time — was given leeway against 4-on-3 advantages, with the caveat that the Suns sat on his passing options and did an excellent job scrambling and rotating to close backline/perimeter gaps.

A team’s got a bunch of starters out and then all the guys who normally don’t play much, they can’t wait to get out there. “I’ve got to do a better job of giving them the slap in the face that Phoenix gave us in the first quarter. But Wiggins started to show shades of his pre-injured self on defense, and Andre Iguodala helped connect the group on both ends of the floor before he was ejected with 4:30 left for unsportsmanlike conduct in his second game of the season. That energy, paired with the combined offensive forces of Curry and Jordan Poole, got the Warriors back into the game. They led by by 14 at the half and pulled away by as many as 27 points in the third. They suffered offensive lulls and defensive lapses that allowed the Suns to go on runs, including a 10-0 dash at the end of the first quarter.

At the literal halfway point of this NBA season, the Warriors are somehow still something of a mystery, half-formed and befuddled in their own extra special, Light Years sort of way. Still, in the spirit of at least attempting to pull together this tangle of a season into something more coherent than “life is pain,” let’s zoom out momentarily and unpack this most recent chapter of Golden State’s seventh or eighth coming-of-age story.

The first, in late October and early November, saw the Dubs go 0-5, with losses to three of the worst teams in the league. The second, in mid-December, featured the Warriors going just 1-5, and was compounded by an injury to Steph Curry. Now is the time for the Warriors to start finding solutions. If you look at the difference between the Warriors at home and on the road, the thing that stands out is defense.
