Golden State Warriors vs Utah Jazz: Game recap

Trade partners clashed in Wednesday’s matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Utah Jazz, just after the multi-team deal that sent Jimmy Butler to the Bay Area and Andrew Wiggins to Miami, with Utah acting as a facilitator by acquiring Dennis Schroder.

In the second quarter, Steph Curry stepped up, scoring eight points to lead the Warriors’ charge, while Podziemski chipped in seven. Golden State outscored Utah by five in the period, heading into halftime with a 58-56 advantage.

At the break, Podziemski led all Warriors scorers with 17 points, while Curry added 12. John Collins and Keyonte George paced the Jazz with 12 and 11 points, respectively.

The third quarter saw Utah slightly outscore the Warriors 31-29, setting up an exciting finish.

In the fourth, Steph Curry made a jumper and a layup to give the Warriors a 126-122 lead, but Jordan Clarkson responded with two free throws to cut it to a one-possession game.

The Warriors ran a two-man game with Curry and Draymond Green, and Curry found Green wide open in the paint, but Walker Kessler came up with a crucial block, leading to a Keyonte George 3-pointer, giving the Jazz a 127-126 lead.

Free throws followed at both ends, with the Jazz holding on to win after a late turnover by the Warriors.
