Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Draymond Green handled the Deandre Ayton assignment. The Warriors beat the Suns. Those two are correlated and that cross match will be huge if these teams meet in the playoffs. theathletic.com/2996605/2021/1…3:14 AM

Stephen Curry on playing against Chris Paul: “It’s dope to see the evolution of both of our careers. The fact that we’re still in a situation where we’re playing meaningful games. It brings the best out of you for sure.” pic.twitter.com/eCzUOcMzKr2:42 AM

I forget the exact numbers, but in NBA history when a team has a win streak of 10 or more games snapped, they tend to lose by double-digits. The wheels just kind of come off, because it’s hard to sustainably keep doing what it took to win every game.

The Suns’ 15 made free throws and 20 free throw attempts are both season highs for a first half, and all without Booker, the guy who gets there the most for them by far. Ayton 7-for-9.

Warriors were hoping to cut down on their turnovers after 22 on Tuesday — but they racked up 9 in the first half and allowed Phoenix to climb back into the game. Ayton having another strong night with 13 already. Another spot where Wiseman is going to have to help when he’s back – 11:17 PM

I don’t fully understand the fascination with Curry’s handle. It’s loose as hell, at times downright shaky. What’s otherworldly is his getting into shot out of dribble. But the actual dribbling? It’s not anything most NBA PGs can’t do. – 10:54 PM

Steve Kerr said this game is definitely a “measuring stick” for where #Warriors are as they face #Suns for a second time within a week. Phoenix won 1st matchup at home. #NBA75 . pic.twitter.com/rj1e1tQDsc8:21 PM

Kerr says Andre Iguodala (knee soreness) is progressing — but he is “very doubtful” for Saturday vs. the Spurs. – 8:20 PM
Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Steve Kerr says Andre Iguodala is progressing and is currently getting shots up on the practice court. Still no timetable for his return. This is his eight consecutive missed game after some right knee swelling. – 8:20 PM
Kelly Iko @KellyIkoNBA
The more early high PnR reps Kevin Porter Jr. and Christian Wood get, the smoother their half court offense looks. Jae’Sean Tate and Eric Gordon have gotten clean looks off simply due to spacing. – 8:20 PM
Melissa Rohlin @melissarohlin
Steve Kerr said Andre Iguodala, who has missed eight-straight games, is progressing, but he added he’s doubtful for tomorrow. – 8:20 PM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlson
Steve Kerr said the Suns defended them better than any other team this year. He’s glad they were able to experience it and can make adjustments from that for tonight. – 8:19 PM
Melissa Rohlin @melissarohlin
Steve Kerr added that only so much can be determined from these December games, however, considering Booker is out for the Suns and Thompson and Iguodala are out for the Warriors. – 8:19 PM

Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Sixers 31, Hawks 22 at the end of the first. Great start for Philly, led by Curry’s 11 points on 5-of-5 shooting. Hawks had 6 turnovers. Embiid is 1-of-5 from the floor but has been aggressive and drawing fouls (6-of-7 from the line) and has 5 boards. – 8:14 PM
Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
With the exception of Seth Curry, that was a very unwatchable quarter from both sides. – 8:14 PM
Chris Kirschner @ChrisKirschner
Hawks trail the Sixers 31-22 at the end of the first quarter.
Young: 6/2/3, 3/8 FG
Capela: 5/2, 2 fouls
Collins: 0 FG attempts
Curry: 11, 5/5 FG – 8:13 PM

Keith Pompey @PompeyOnSixers
The Hawks cheering section keeps chanting, “Seth Curry sucks.” They may want keep quiet. The #Sixers guard has hit his first three baskets and has six points. Sixers lead 12-9. – 7:58 PM
Gina Mizell @ginamizell
Sixers up 12-8 at the first timeout. Embiid is off to another slow start (0-for-4), but Seth Curry is not (3-for-3). Hawks also already have four turnovers. – 7:56 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Seth Curry continues to be the most consistent scorer for Philly this season. He is just so smooth. Dude knows how to play the game. #Sixers7:55 PM
Kevin Chouinard @KLChouinard
Trae and Danny Green are guarding each other. Hawks are using TLC on Curry and Huerter on Maxey. – 7:48 PM

Since Steph Curry got drafted, Chris Paul averages more points vs the Warriors than any other opponent.

#Suns will play 2nd straight game without Devin Booker (hamstring) tonight at #Warriors and are still without Abdel Nader (knee) and Frank Kaminsky (knee).
Phoenix (19-3) has won franchise-best 18 straight. Golden State (18-3) hasn’t played since Tuesday’s loss to Suns. #NBA6:44 PM
