Warriors outscored the Suns by 21 points in the third quarter last night -- and lost. Golden State had been 60-0 since April 1999, including playoffs, in games where it outscored a team by 21 or more points in any quarter. Until last night.

Looks like that crazy Q3 was a mirage - they got in the bonus early and racked up points at the FT line. Warriors have scored 18 points in 2 separate quarters tonight (Q2/Q4). Sickening.

Warriors are on a 24-5 run to start Q3. Might be the craziest start to a Q3 I've seen in years.
Warriors started off with missed rebounds to begin Q3 so it was scary, but have shut the water off on the Suns' offense so far, going on a 15-3 run. KD's been terrible and Suns not really running anything. Just grateful Warriors made a quick comeback.
