Yup only down down 3 is a great fight back. Thrilled Mikal is alright

Really solid D except for the defensive rebounding and Curry getting loose while Mikal was out. Looks like CP might get aggressive early in this game

Our defense has been solid. Even the mimutes without Bridges, it's been good. We have to cleanup rebounds on our end. Can't give up 7 offensive boards when we have the size

We have 20 free throws to their 2. Half of their rebound lead is missed free throws.

Suns have NO business being in this game. This team continues to amaze me.

Proud of this team there is no quitting in them. They compete every single night like its elimination basketball. Crazy how we went to the line 21 times in first half that might be a record for our franchise.

Booker's hamstring is much better he's coming back in the 2nd half.

Toscano talking at halftime with the Warriors commentary crew and agrees they have indeed been fouling too much, and they gotta stop fouling and play better defense.

Jazz have nailed 24 3s with few min remaining maybe if there's overtime they can attempt to set a record.

You're not wrong but I'm not playing that game

We're in this game because we're an elite team. We can win without Book like we did in the first game. We have to stay locked in, control the boards and hit some damn shots

Only 6 TO's and a thousand fts is the only reason we aren't down by 15+ ATM.

Why not? I have a lot of faith in this team. If Bridges was out it would be tougher but we are a tough team.

Yeah I see no reason why we shouldn't expect this team to be competitive even with everything going against us.

Yeah, we are good. We should be able to compete. We are missing Book but they are missing Klay. We are going to have to be able to beat them with Klay once Book comes back so we can't really use something like that as an excuse.

Tough with Booker out, Mikal missing most of the first half, on a B2B on the road, playing one of the best teams in the NBA, warriors were up 10+ at one point multiple times.. not going to lie, I thought it was over.
