TJ Warren, DeAndre Ayton, and Devin Booker all scored over 20 points on a night when the Warriors were looking invincible. Rookie Ayton recorded himself another double-double of 25 points (team-high) and 10 rebounds (four of which were on the offensive glass) while star Devin Booker finished with 20 points and six assists.

TJ Warren shot 8-of-17 from the floor, chipping in with 24 points for his team, on a night when the trio took almost 50 of the team's 85 shots. Kelly Oubre Jr. was the only other Suns player in double digits while the rest of the players on the roster could not score more than seven points individually.

Against a team like the Warriors, you really don't expect your star player to commit five turnovers, and that's what Coach Kokoskov pointed out in broad terms after the game.

"There's such a low margin for error when you play the champs," Suns coach Igor Kokoskov said.
