Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns halted the Golden State Warriors' winning streak on Tuesday night. The two teams are now tied for the best record in the NBA at 18-3. The Suns won this game on the defensive end. They held Stephen Curry to 4-of-21 shooting and forced the Dubs into 22 turnovers. These two stats allowed the Suns to go home with a victory.
Draymond Green felt the outcome could have been different if the Warriors had changed a few things.
“I think we could’ve moved more. We were pretty stagnant on the offensive end. We didn’t have much ball movement. We didn’t have much player movement. We kind of fell into the switches and let them set their defense. So, I think we could have moved around a bit more,” Green told ClutchPoints.

Movement in the Warriors' offense has always been what makes them great. Even though you have Curry, one of the greatest scorers of all time, you don't want four players standing around when he has the ball. It makes it easier to make things hard on Curry and everyone else, and that's what happened.

“I obviously need to turn the ball over less, but in saying all of that, 22 turnovers, right there with three minutes to go, and we let it slip away. If we correct things we can control, we’ll be just fine,” Green said.
