Recap: G-League battle gives Suns valuable loss

The Suns lost a G-League game Saturday, 124-109, against the Golden State Warriors.

Early in the game, the Suns’ switching defense created matchup advantages for the Warriors. You understand why the Suns go that route, especially when Dragan Bender is involved in the pick-and-roll coverage, but Golden State can and will attack those advantages incessantly.

Both teams scored well early, and the Suns stole an early 15-14 lead.

Later in the first quarter, Warriors coach Steve Kerr rolled out a lineup featuring all of Kevon Looney, Zaza Pachulia and Draymond Green, effectively using three centers.
