Charles Bassey recorded 19 points (7-of-10 FGs, 5-of-6 FTs), eight rebounds and one assist in Monday’s win over the Suns.

While Bassey scored nine points in the first half, his role in the Warriors’ rotation grew more important in the second half. Draymond Green was ejected two minutes into the third quarter, giving Bassey more minutes. In 15 second-half minutes, he accumulated 10 points, six rebounds and one assist. Bassey’s 19 points are a career high, and more nights like this would go a long way toward making his contract fully guaranteed come January 10.
