The Sixers recently lost Elton Brand for the season, and as a result, have to do a bit of tinkering to their lineup. Their opponent for their [...]
Captain Jack Notches First Career Triple-Double, Warriors Trounce Suns 124-112
The Golden State Warriors, in their game against the Phoenix Suns on Wednesday night, played perhaps the kind of basketball that they have been expected to play all season – considering that all of their top offensive players are healthy.
