The last time the Warriors played the Suns, Curry had the worst game of his career. He finished the game with 12 points shooting 4-of-21 from the field. He struggled offensively, but that's not a concern the Warriors have when looking ahead. Curry just had a bad night.

“They're going to score, but if you turn the ball over, you can't get your defense set. CP (Chris Paul) is running in transition. He's got options everywhere. It's almost impossible to stop. So our offense has to help our defense, and we have to fly around with multiple efforts,” the Warriors star said.

They are traveling to Phoenix short-handed because of the absence of Jordan Poole, Andrew Wiggins, and Damion Lee, but they still believe they can get the job done and leave with a victory.
