Golden State Warriors vs Phoenix Suns Final Score & Over/Under Result — Dec 18, 2025

A season-series pattern of offensive fireworks collapsed into a slugfest on Sunday night: the Warriors and Suns combined for just 197 points, 32.5 below the 229.5 market total, as both offenses sputtered far below their recent per-game averages. Their November matchup had produced 225 combined points; this one landed firmly UNDER, rewarding DAGGER's pregame lean.

Phoenix's defense tightened considerably from its 115.3 allowed per game over the last ten, while Golden State—which had averaged 114.4 scored in that span—managed only 98 points across 48 minutes. The first half stayed relatively balanced at 99 combined, but the second half cratered to 98, with the third quarter especially anemic at 42 combined points. Jimmy Butler III led the Warriors with 31 points on 3 rebounds and 3 assists, while Brandin Podziemski added 18 points. Stephen Curry chipped in 15 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists in a quiet efficiency-focused outing. For Phoenix, Devin Booker's 25 points and Dillon Brooks's 24 points, 7 rebounds kept the Suns barely afloat; Collin Gillespie contributed 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists. The fourth quarter offered the game's only scoring burst at 56 combined, but it arrived too late to push the total north. Phoenix's 99-98 triumph marked a rare low-scoring victory in a season defined by pace and volume.
