SALT LAKE CITY — Fatigue? What fatigue? Playing their third game in as many nights, the Golden State Warriors (27-22) ignored the travel schedule and the altitude to dismantle the Utah Jazz (15-33) in a 140-124 offensive clinic. Behind a season-high 23 three-pointers, Golden State secured a statement win at the Delta Center.
The Scoreboard: Warriors vs. Jazz
| Team | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | Final |

| Utah Jazz | 24 | 31 | 38 | 31 | 124 |
Game Analysis: A Perimeter Masterclass
The story of the night was Golden State’s relentless shooting. The Warriors didn't just win; they exposed the league's worst defense by knocking down 15 triples in the first half alone.
1. The Curry-Moody Scoring Punch
While Stephen Curry led the way with 27 points (including 4-of-10 from deep), the night belonged to Moses Moody. Moody turned in one of his most efficient performances of the season, dropping 26 points in just 26 minutes with a team-high +28 rating.
2. Utah’s Defensive Nightmare
Jazz coach Will Hardy was blunt after the game: "We were steps behind on every action." Utah has now allowed 140+ points nine times this season, a statistic that continues to haunt their rebuilding phase. Despite the loss, rookie Ace Bailey and Keyonte George each chipped in 19 points, showing sparks of a future core.
3. The Horford Connection
In a tactical shift, Al Horford started at center and proved vital. While he only scored 9 points, his 8 assists and defensive anchoring allowed Draymond Green to play more freely, a lineup combination Steve Kerr hinted might become a staple.
