Warriors and Suns Put Aside Rivalry in Close Game Win for Warriors

The Warriors won a close game against the Suns on Saturday, with Draymond Green and Jusuf Nurkic exchanging barbs during the match. The two players had previously been involved in an incident where Green elbowed Nurkic in December, leading to a 16-game suspension for Green. However, following their exchange of words during the game on Saturday, it appears that they have put aside any lingering animosity and are focused solely on winning games.

                  • Green has been operating as the Warriors' small-ball center. He’s elevating the roster's overall defensive efforts and thriving in a role that lets him quarterback the team at the top of the perimeter.
