This clip shows how worried the short-handed Warriors were against the Suns.

Down by nine in the first half without All-Stars Steph Curry, Kevin Durant & Klay Thompson, the always smiling Nick Young got into a "modern NBA scuffle" with Dragan Bender of the always grumpy and fighting Suns. Instead of being chewed out by Coach Steve Kerr, Young was met with a hug and jokes. The refs hit Young and Bender with techs and Bender's coach replaced him with Marquese Chriss, fresh off of getting fined $25,000 for pushing Ricky Rubio and getting into a scuffle with the Utah Jazz.

The Warriors responded by outscoring the Booker-less Suns 42-25 in the 3rd and winning the game 124-109. Young finished with 20 points, which is the most he's scored since his 23 in the first game of the season. He also had a season-high 7 boards.

Speaking of season-highs, young Josh Jackson went off for a career-high 36 points on 14-of-23 shooting in 36 minutes off the bench for the struggling Suns, losers of 17 of their last 18 games.

BONUS FIGHT

Young and Suns fans might remember back in 2014 when Swaggy P got into a scuffle with Alex Len and threw a punch at Goran Dragic. OK, I'm seeing a trend here. I'm assuming Young isn't fond of Dragons found in the city of Phoenix.
