brother-in-law and little damian. all right. 1st quarter warriors down 4 steph curry. first shot back. goes right through that. but the suns. they were fighting damion lee, he knocks down the 3. and just like that. the suns take a 16 point lead. all righty 2nd quarter. now, wellpoint suns lead dante divincenzo. pass it to a team and that's no von over crime right there. macau bridges finished with 26 points. all right. later in the second more sloppy play, draymond. can't do that. can't that drag. he loses it. torrey craig finishes up top on the other and the warriors had 17 turnovers tonight. but in the 4th they made a little bit of noise. here comes the does. >> steph? it's the turnover.

jordan poole pulls up from deep. all 3 of those who had 27 off the bench. but guess what? it was too little too late. they cut it to it little as 6, but they fall one. 25 1.13. we are well into game week and that takes their already flying. vegas has the niners as 10 point favorites, which makes sense on paper. >> this matchup isn't really close. san francisco is the more talented team in the numbers simply back that up. but the scary thing about the nfl playoffs is it's win or go home. you can have a bad day. shoo. you can have a bad quarter and all of a sudden your season is over. now. i've been listening kyle shanahan and the players on this team all week long and they don't seem like a group that lacks and confidence. most of these guys, they have been here before. most of these guys know exactly what it takes to win in the playoffs and that's bad news for the rest of the nfc. >> if you want to sit and think about all the outside

stuff, i'm sure you can psych yourself all out. but that's only thing i would say through experience of it is you get on the field. there's absolutely nothing different. so whether it's a playoff game weather, super bowl and all you can do is control the athletic sporting event that are involved and don't make it more than that. it's all about just not making the situation better than what it you know, i knew that back when i was young guys from the older, the older guys like richmond. >> you know, staley, all those all those guys and you know that at the end of the day, it's still football. you know, you want to you want to play at your best. but that doesn't mean going outside. what your to do? you know, you just got to make sure that your, you know, really detail the way that you prepare. and then when you go out there, you play with their hair on fire. >> all right. let's go to the ice. the sharks in arizona taking on the 3rd period. logan get tore. me that gives them a 3, 2, lead. they would tack on another. they win. 42, they'll take on the kings in la tomorrow. all righty
