SAN FRANCISCO — A lot has changed since Phoenix Suns center Aron Baynes fell onto and broke Warriors guard Stephen Curry’s left hand. While the first 36 minutes of Friday’s game served as a reminder of the all-league scorer the Warriors lost on that Oct. 30 night, the final 12 minutes reflected just how far this team has come.
Almost two months to the day, the Suns returned to Chase Center to face a Warriors team once left reeling in the wake of Curry’s injury, only to pivot to a season of development, then enter Friday’s game on a three-game win streak.
