Curry’s Quarter Sparks Golden State Warriors’ 116-105 Win Over Jazz

The Golden State Warriors came into Salt Lake City hoping to continue their five-game win streak against the Utah Jazz.

At first, it turned out being a little more difficult than the Warriors would have hoped.

Utah’s sized proved to be a tough matchup for the Warriors throughout the beginning of the night. The Warriors were down after one quarter and tied at the half. But once the second half came around, it was a completely different story.

It was the Stephen Curry show. “The Human Torch” caught fire, making highlight plays nearly every trip down the court. He scored 15 of his 27 points, with 4 assists to cap the Warriors’ season-high 44-point quarter.

The close game that was the first half seemed like it was part of an entirely different game. The Warriors outshot the Jazz by 10%, had ten more points off the bench, and took care of the ball a lot better than them.

Despite that, the Warriors weren’t able to manage a lead and ended up tied at 53 at halftime. It was largely because the Jazz were finding ways to out rebound the Warriors on the offensive glass and get second chance points.

After the third quarter, the Warriors were up by 17 points and it had gone from a close game to a blowout.

By the time the final buzzer was sounding through Energy Solutions Arena, some of the home crowd had already left, and it was because the game was over long before the buzzer went off.

The Warriors held the lead through the rest of the fourth quarter and finished the game with a final score of 116-105 to extend their winning streak to six games against the Jazz and seventh straight overall.

Curry ended up with 27 points and 11 assists. It was his third straight 20 point and 10 assist game making him the only player in the league to do so this season. Steve Kerr also had a nice feat of his own and became the first head coach to start a season 30-5 in his first season.

It was a great team win for the Warriors in which no player played over thirty minutes. The Warriors are going to need the all the rest and “team wins” they can get as the long season carries on.
