Grading Steph Curry, Jordan Poole, Klay Thompson, and the rest of the Golden State Warriors in the team's 125-113 loss to the Phoenix Suns.

And he was truly sensational in the second half. He was in the closing lineup, until getting ejected for picking up a second technical foul after tossing the ball into the stands. Poole was truly awful in the first half. In the first quarter, when Phoenix was just starting to torch the Dubs, Klay had 14 of the team’s 26 points. Klay’s numbers fell off a bit later in the game, but for much of the contest he was the only player worth watching. He was the one who caught fire late in the third quarter when the game seemed out of reach, and pulled the Warriors to a non-white towel score. He was the one who made clutch basket after clutch basket in the waning minutes, puffing a deep breath of life into the Chase Center with each one. Wiggins had a lot of rust after being sidelined for 15 games, and that was pretty clear in this, his second game back. Through his first 26 games of the year, he’d attempted just eight free throws. Now we wait and see what he can do with them. It took him a while to find his jump shot, and he missed layups we’re not used to seeing him miss. The rebounding was huge, as the Warriors needed it — even so, Phoenix pulled down 12 more boards.
