In a recent NBA game that resulted in a Suns loss to the Warriors, tensions flared between Jusuf Nurkic of the Suns and Draymond Green of the Warriors, leading to a public exchange of criticisms. Nurkic expressed disappointment in Green's behavior, suggesting he hadn't learned from his past actions, specifically referencing an incident where Green was suspended indefinitely, later specified as a 12-game suspension, for hitting Nurkic in the face in December. Green responded by dismissing Nurkic's comments, emphasizing his competitive nature and dismissing the idea that being quiet equates to winning. The exchange highlighted the ongoing feud between the two players, which has captured the attention of fans and media alike.

Warriors blast the Jazz in Utah, extend win streak to five games, 7-1 in their last eight. They've crept to 26-25 and just beat the team directly below them in the standings. They're 1.5 games up on the Jazz for the 10th spot and climbing, a half-game back of Lakers.
Warriors can empty the bench with a few minutes left on the road vs. another play-in contender? Impressive.
The Warriors have won 5 straight games. 🔥🔥 https://t.co/OtZOYFmpwT
We had to sacrifice the 49ers to get the Warriors and Klay back. Sigh. But I will take it. 🫵
Curry sends Delta Center into a tizzy with five fourth-quarter 3-pointers. Warriors lead 125-105 and are 2:16 away from their fifth consecutive win -- and seventh in their last eight games.
