For only the 4th game of the season for both teams, we saw a great deal of chippiness. Indeed, Klay Thompson got himself ejected in the third quarter, a heated battle that cleared the benches. To wit: 7 technical fouls were called in 5 minutes of play.
The Suns never lost their heads, and from that point on a close Suns lead (they were up almost the entire game) became a blowout in the Suns favor very quickly.
This is the Western Conference Final we should’ve had last season. Love this intensity.
