Utah Jazz

There's still plenty to be determined in terms of seeding and matchups, but the Warriors have guaranteed at least a top-six seed in the Western Conference and ...

As a result of this win they are alone in third and one game ahead of the fourth-place Dallas Mavericks with four games to play. ... I told it to the coaching staff, and Steph said it to a couple of the guys." Coming into the matchup with the Jazz, they were on a four-game losing streak. He also hit the 3-pointer with 3:33 remaining that gave the Warriors the lead for good. I told Kenny Atkinson that I felt like I was going to have a big night tonight, and it came to fruition. The Golden State Warriors officially clinched a playoff berth on Saturday night with an impressive and much-needed win over the Utah Jazz, 111-107.

SAN FRANCISCO — Coach Steve Kerr didn't have to pin a sign on the Warriors' bulletin board in their locker room or repeatedly circle Saturday's game in red ...

“We just know we need to go out there and win games,” Poole said. “You love to play in an environment like that, Chase is amazing when everybody’s on their feet,” he said. We were against a really good team, all games are important at this point,” Poole said. A loss would have jeopardized the Warriors’ chances of having home-court advantage in the playoffs. Luckily, Golden State doesn’t need to worry about that just yet after Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole led the team to overcome a 16-point deficit in the game’s final eight minutes for the win in a performance that was nothing short of amazing. “I know they were talking amongst themselves.”

Steve Kerr didn't tell the Golden State Warriors that this was the most important game of the year so far, but in the 4th quarter, Klay Thompson started ...

In the final 7:54 of the game, he was the only Jazz player to make a basket. Klay called the defense “Not very smart,” and added “I’m not surprised but I’m grateful.” Otto Porter Jr. and Gary Payton II came in and righted the ship, and Thompson made up for some early misses by closing the quarter with a dunk and a three, and the Warriors trailed 30-23 after one. In fact, the team as a whole only turned the ball over once in the entire second half, and not at all in the fourth. It didn’t look like as Utah started draining threes again to start the 4th, and the mostly-bench unit that brought them back quickly ran out of gas. The downside was that Poole also had three turnovers, including a howler with ten seconds left that let Utah close the half on an easy layup. Klay Thompson finished with 36 points and eight three-pointers, five in the final 13 minutes of the game, all of which he played. In the second half he was nearly perfect, scoring with of those points, playing masterful defense and not committing a single turnover. It was a combination of stifling Warriors defense and some stunning Jazz miscues that led to the defeat. The Warriors wouldn’t make a field goal the rest of the way, but they did make all six of their foul shots down the stretch. Tuesday, Mitchell was inbounding the ball with ten seconds left and called a timeout the Jazz didn’t have, Chris Webber-style. That put the Dubs ahead for good, and they held on to win, 113-107, and clinch a playoff spot.

Donovan Mitchell was vocal on yet another Jazz letdown after blowing a 16-point lead late against the Warriors.

The Jazz veteran tied Donovan Mitchell for a team-high 26 points. There’s more than enough reason to believe that this has just been a temporary bump in the road, one they can hopefully get past come playoff time. The Jazz went scoreless for over five minutes and didn’t make another field goal until the 1:22 mark when Mike Conley made a driving layup. And I think we have a group of guys who want to do that. Donovan Mitchell was vocal on yet another Jazz letdown after the game. And yet Utah somehow managed to get outscored by 20 points the rest of the way to fall, 111-107.

On the back of 36- and 31-point performances from Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole, the Golden State Warriors brushed past the Utah Jazz, 111-107, ...

The Warriors went on an 18-0 run, with Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole catching fire and sinking back-to-back threes. In Curry's absence, the Warriors have a 2-6 record. Anthony Slater of The Athletic noted that the week before the first-round of the playoffs would be crucial in judging Curry's preparedness for the post-season.

The Warriors strung together six unanswered threes, four by Klay Thompson, and took a 103-102 lead. The game wasn't over but with the Chase Center rockin' and ...

On Tuesday, they built up a lead as large as 25 points against the Clippers and watched it all crumble, similar to how they did in Game 6 of the 2021 conference semis. The Warriors strung together six unanswered threes, four by Klay Thompson, and took a 103-102 lead. They led Golden State on Saturday night at one time by 21 points and even held a 103-87 lead held with 7:54 left in the game.
