These are two of the league's most electrifying offenses, boasting some of the game's most captivating players. [*]Slideshow: Warriors vs. Suns So Monday, when Oracle Arena housed the first match up of the season between the NBA's two highest-scoring teams, the sellout crowd of 19,596 knew it was in for a treat. All that was missing was the postgame fireworks display, and maybe some free Big Macs. The Warriors smoked Phoenix 129- 114, snapping the Suns' eight-game winning streak.</p> There were no signs of fatigue for the Warriors (6-7), who were coming off a five-game East Coast road trip. They have now won six of their last seven games after starting the season 0-6.</p> The previous four meetings in Oakland were decided by a total of 24 points, each team winning two games. They combined to score 886 points during those contests, an average of 221.5 total points.</p> Monday was even more high-octane than usual. By the start of the fourth quarter, a total of 195 points were already on the board. Both teams shot over 50 percent for most of the game and each team dished out 31 assists. The combined fast-break points (42) rivaled the halftime scoring average for some NBA teams.</div></p> Source: Inside the Bay Area</p> </span></span></p>
Hopefully the news headlines will say that after we face the Spurs, Jazz, Clippers, or any team that has a guy with inside scoring footwork that can also rebound, block shots, and pass. It is possible if we're playing out of our minds.</p>
