SAN FRANCISCO — The third-place Utah Jazz posed no better challenge to a Golden State Warriors team just hitting their stride. The Warriors answered the challenge with a 129-118 win on Friday night at Chase Center.
Utah came to Chase Center a surprising contender in the Western Conference – despite trading its two superstars Rudy Gobert and Donovan Mitchell in the offseason – boasting a deep bench and an offense that runs a similar run-and-gun style to Golden State.
The Warriors had three 20-point scorers, just one point shy of having four. Steph Curry had his typically magical night, scoring 33 points with six 3-pointers on 13-of-23 shooting from the field to lead all scorers. Andrew Wiggins finished with 20 points. Klay Thompson ignited in the second half to finish with 20 points with six 3-pointers.
