The shorthanded Golden State Warriors were road warriors indeed, as they went into the Utah Jazz’s backyard and stole a win, 124-123. Jonas Jerebko, a former Jazz player, tipped in a game-winner with .3 seconds left to stun the home-team.
Kevin Durant carried the champs with a monster performance: 38 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists on 14-of-25 shooting. Stephen Curry supported him in a gritty effort, overcoming a bloodied nose to delivered 31 points and 8 assists. Missing Andre Iguodala (and of course DeMarcus Cousins), the champs needed those two superstars to deliver game-breaking performances.
