This time, the insult came before the injury. For the first two and a half quarters of Wednesday night’s game between Golden State and Phoenix, the Suns—one of the worst teams in the league last season—were trouncing the Warriors in the brand-new Chase Center. After one quarter, the Suns led by a score of 43-14, which seemed like a typo, and by halftime, they’d dropped 72 points on the 2018-19 Western Conference champs. Then, with just over eight minutes left in the third and the Warriors down 29, Steph Curry drove toward the basket and collided with Aron Baynes, a player 7 inches taller and 75 pounds heavier than him. They both collapsed to the floor, and Curry’s arms folded awkwardly beneath Baynes’s body.
