The middle portion of the Western Conference standings is a forgiving place. The struggling Suns were blown out by the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday, leaving them tied with the Warriors at 21-21. The Minnesota Timberwolves have fallen to 22-21, and the Warriors already own the tiebreaker over them.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green will miss at least a week with a strained left calf.
