What went down
The Warriors got their revenge and put the brakes on the Suns' win streak of 18 games with a huge victory. It was the second meeting in four days between the two top teams of the league. After losing the previous matchup last Wednesday, the Warriors got the last laugh this time around.
Stephen Curry quickly put his bad outing of 12 points in the rearview mirror with 23 points, six 3s, five rebounds, and five assists. Golden State also got a huge hand from its bench as Gary Payton II (19 points, five rebounds) and Juan Toscano-Anderson (17 points, five rebounds, five assists) provided a ton of energy.
The Suns were anchored by a 23-point output from Deandre Ayton but clearly missed the firepower of their leader Devin Booker. Phoenix's leading scorer sat out Saturday's contest due to a hamstring injury that he sustained in the previous meeting.
Big-time baller
Donovan Mitchell poured in 34 points in a shootout against the Celtics. Spida shot 54.5 percent from the floor, spiked by six triples. He also delivered the knockout punch to put away the game.

What he said
If you win five straight games after losing the previous 15, it's perfectly alright to flex a little bit. You take all the Ws you can get in a struggling season.
