For the first time since assistant coach Dejan Milojevic passed away, the Warriors made their way back to Utah, but they had to deal with the painful memories that Salt Lake City now holds. Monday night, the Warriors defeated the Utah Jazz 129-107 to win their fifth straight game under interim head coach Kenny Atkinson's direction.
Recently inconsistent Klay Thompson had one of his stronger performances, scoring 26 points on 11 of 19 field goals, mostly from the mid-range with a chilly three-pointer. Steph Curry won the game with 15 points in the fourth quarter, all of which came from three-pointers. Despite being in foul trouble for the majority of the game, Draymond Green finished with 12 points, 9 rebounds, 8 assists, and a game-winning half-court jumper at the half. With 17 points, Andrew Wiggins had a team-high plus-31.
