Phoenix Suns vs Golden State Warriors
PREVIEW: The Golden State Warriors (13-15) will play the Phoenix Suns (15-12) at Chase Centre on Saturday, December 20, 2025, in an attempt to snap a three-game losing streak. The Suns defeated the Warriors 99-96 in their home court on Thursday , setting up this immediate rematch where Golden State looks to even the score on familiar territory. The Warriors rank first in high-frequency three-point shooting at 50.7% and fifth in passing efficiency , giving them a potent offensive arsenal despite needing a more locked-in effort after suffering from poor execution and subpar shooting in their recent loss. Stephen Curry, who managed just 15 points on 3-of-13 shooting against Phoenix , will be hungry for redemption in front of his home crowd.
Phoenix enters with elite turnover-forcing capabilities ranked second in the league, along with strong offensive rebounding at 29.8% , making them a defensive menace on the glass. However, the Suns struggle with spacing on offense and prefer isolation-heavy sets rather than ball movement , which could create openings for Golden State's perimeter defense. Devin Booker continues to anchor the Suns with 25.1 points per game while Dillon Brooks contributes 21.7 points , giving Phoenix reliable scoring options to lean on. With both teams fighting for playoff positioning, expect a scrappy, competitive affair where execution in the final minutes could prove decisive.
