The Golden State Warriors beat the Utah Jazz 94-92 on Sunday night, and while it was a close, tense game that they nearly threw away, it was also an impressive win. Despite the absence of Draymond Green, Golden State put together a strong defensive effort against the league’s top offense (though admittedly Utah was missing Donovan Mitchell).
It was a much-needed victory over an elite team, after a rough end to last week, which saw the Dubs fall to an Indiana Pacers team that was without their five best players, and need a Steph Curry buzzer-beater to escape a lottery-bound Houston Rockets squad.
