San Francisco, CA – The Golden State Warriors game against the Phoenix Suns was a hard-fought nail-biter that ended with Devin Booker telling the fans at the Chase Center how he really felt about them.
“They left the energy at Oracle. I like the Oakland fans better,” Booker yelled while walking to the locker room after beating the Warriors.
This game was full of excitement and a lot of trash talking from Booker, Draymond Green, Jae Crowder, Chris Paul, and Jordan Poole who had a game-high 38 points.
“That’s how I played growing up, my entire life,” Poole said about the trash talking.
During a free throw, The Warriors youngster and Suns point guard Paul were seen exchanging words that lasted for a while. But if the future Hall of Fame point guard thought his 22-year-old opponent was going to back down he was completely wrong.

After the game, Poole explained his side of the story and why he feels confident and comfortable going back and forth with a player of Paul’s status.
“I’m never really the one to initiate it,” Poole told ClutchPoints. “But if somebody wants to talk, it’s pretty good to have people like Draymond (Green), and Andre (Iguodala), and guys behind you who are also willing, and Juan (Toscano-Anderson), Gary (Payton II), Otto (Porter Jr.), and Loon (Kevon Looney), Steph (Stephen Curry), Klay (Thompson). So, when you talk, guys got your back.
The Suns defeated the Warriors 107-103 and Phoenix handed the Dubs their fourth straight loss. Now, Golden State falls to 48-29, and they're tied with the Dallas Mavericks for 4th place in the Western Conference.
The clock is ticking for the Warriors. They only have 5 games left before the season ends, and it's very important to get something positive going before then.
