These Warriors sure do have a penchant for getting your hopes up, don’t they? Just when you think they’ve turned a corner, they pull the rug from underneath your pillar of expectations. That’s pretty much what they managed to do by succumbing to the Utah Jazz for the third time this season, 114-106.
The Warriors got off to a raging hot start (by their standards), scoring 29 points and — in a rare display of defensive excellence — only allowing the Jazz to put up 22 points. They dominated the boards with 16 rebounds, with 8 of them of the offensive variety.
