Number 3- Six players were in the plus column.

Jacob Evans, Deyonta Davis, Antonius Cleveland, Juan Toscano-Anderson, Will Cherry and Kendrick Nunn all were in the plus column last game.

That was very impressive on a night where the opposing team was relentless in adding one more W in the win column and breaking their current losing streak. Deyonta Davis and Kendrick Nunn had the highest plus-minus for the night with fifteen apiece.

It was good to see Davis not only doing work on the defensive end but also on the offensive end leading the team in that aspect of the game alongside an experienced offensive leader in Kendrick Nunn.

Number 4- Improved percentage from three-point range

A repetitive theme for the Santa Cruz Warriors so far this season is their inability to consistently score from the three-point line. Against the Suns, the Warriors were 9 of 19 from three-point range making the team 47% from three-point land.

Leading from three-point range was Kendrick Nunn who shot five three-pointers while Darius Morris was two of four from three-point range. It was great to see the Sea Dubs making strides in this area. Less is definitely more as the Warriors improve in this area.

Next. Analyzing one four-team blockbuster trade for Anthony Davis. dark

The Warriors currently stand in second place under the Oklahoma City Blue (the G-League affiliate of the Oklahoma City Thunder) and it will be interesting to see how the Warriors will pace themselves as they play the Texas Legends, Austin Spurs and the Rio Grande Valley Vipers.
