Claim 1: “With 2:02 left in Golden State’s 111-96 loss to the Phoenix Suns on Friday, Prime Video was …”
DISPUTED
The web search results provide specific box scores and reports regarding the Warriors' losses, but none of the evidence confirms the specific final score of 111-96 or that the loss occurred with 2:02 left in the game. In contrast, one source mentions a loss to the Suns, and another mentions a loss on a specific date, but the details provided in the claim (score, time remaining) are not supported by the evidence. The evidence is too general or refers to different outcomes/dates to confirm the precise details of the claim.
