The Golden State Warriors won handily over the Suns 112-104 on Wednesday night — with the final score not at all indicative of how thoroughly the Suns were outplayed — as the defending champions enter the All-Star break with a 48-4 record.

It is the best record any team in NBA history has achieved through 52 games, and Wednesday’s win served as handy proof of the Warriors’ dominance.

The Warriors outscored the Suns 28-15 in the second quarter to pull away after leading by just one at the end of the first quarter. A 16-4 run midway through the second pushed Golden State’s lead to 55-39, a spurt that was capped off by back-to-back Stephen Curry triples. The Warriors led 57-43 at halftime.

Curry nearly had a triple double, finishing with 26 points, nine rebounds and nine assists. Klay Thompson chipped in 24 points as well.

The Warriors were able to maintain a comfortable advantage throughout the second half and Curry — once again — was able to sit for the entirety of the fourth quarter.

Curry, Thompson and Draymond Green will now head to Toronto for the All-Star festivities this weekend. The Warriors open up the second half of the season a week from tomorrow in Portland against the Trail Blazers.
