The Golden State Warriors visited the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, hoping to get some revenge after losing the first two meetings between the teams. For a while it looked like they’d get their wish. But as they’ve done so often this year, they fell apart in the fourth quarter and watched a winnable game slip through their fingers.
It wasn’t an egregious collapse like we’ve seen in other games. There was no monster lead blown, or even a fourth-quarter lead squandered. They were playing a very talented Phoenix team that, while missing Kevin Durant, was welcoming Bradley Beal back into the fold.
