Going back one more game to their face-off against Golden State Warriors, we see that Phoenix dominated with a resounding scoreline of 134-105. They led for almost 43 minutes and had six players scoring in double figures.


These statistics suggest that Phoenix is capitalizing on its home-court advantage at Footprint Center, where they've been able to maintain high shooting percentages from both inside and outside the arc while keeping turnovers relatively low.


Defensively, they've managed to keep opponents' scoring under control while also converting points off turnovers effectively. With this momentum behind them, fans can expect another energetic performance from Phoenix as they aim to extend their winning streak at home.


The upcoming game is scheduled for November 2nd at Footprint Center in Phoenix. Fans can catch all the action live on TNT (channel 245) or BSAZ (channel 686) for local coverage starting from tip-off time onwards.
