Alright, so, I’ve been digging into this match between the Golden State Warriors and the Phoenix Suns. I wanted to get a closer look at the player stats, and man, it was quite a ride. Let me walk you through what I did.
First off, I started gathering all the data I could find about this game. The date, the final score, who played, how many points they scored, you know, the basic stuff. So I went through the box score, which was pretty easy to find online, luckily. The Warriors beat the Suns 109-105, so that was my starting point.
After getting the basic info, I dived deeper. I made this big table to put in all the player stats. I listed every player from both teams, and next to their names, I wrote down their points, rebounds, assists, and all that. It was a bit tedious, but it really helped me see who did what during the game.
Then, I started comparing the teams. Golden State Warriors won 43 games, and Phoenix Suns won 40. Their average points per game were pretty close, with the Warriors scoring 110.8 and the Suns 109.4 on average. It was interesting to see how these numbers matched up with this particular game.
One thing that caught my eye was how Jonathan Kuminga played. He came off the bench for the Warriors and scored 12 points in the first quarter alone. That’s pretty impressive! It made me look into his other stats too, like his shooting percentage and how many minutes he played.
I also noticed that Tyus Jones stepped up for the Suns. Since he was a notable player, I made sure to highlight his stats in my notes. I kept going back to the stats, cross-referencing everything to make sure I didn’t miss anything important. Also, I found that there was a long-standing rivalry between these two teams dating back to the 1990s. I’m not sure how much that impacted this particular game, but it’s interesting history.
After I had all my data organized, I started to analyze it. I compared the top 5 players from each team, looking at their points, rebounds, and assists. I also looked at their shooting percentages to see who was more efficient.
Here’s what I ended up with:
- Golden State Warriors:
- Had more wins overall this season.
- Jonathan Kuminga had a standout performance in the first quarter.
- Phoenix Suns:
- Tyus Jones was a key player in this match.
- Scored slightly less on average per game compared to the Warriors.
So, that’s pretty much it. It was a fun deep dive into the stats, and it really gave me a better understanding of how the game went down. I love doing this kind of stuff, breaking down the numbers and seeing the story they tell. Hope you guys found this breakdown helpful. Catch you on the next one!
