Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. MT. They capped off a November to remember undefeated. “They made a couple shots at the end there, but we didn’t and that was the game”.

But let’s look at the season Curry is having so far. Rodney Hood scored 14 seconds later to bring the Jazz within one. The reigning MVP added two clutch free throws for good measure with 2.4 seconds remaining in the game. “We have had some lopsided victories too”, said Curry.
Hood trimmed it to 104-103 and then missed the go-ahead attempt, and Curry’s free throws sealed the victory. The Warriors topped the Jazz 106-103 at Vivint Smart Home Arena behind a resilient showing that featured key bench contributions and a few new wrinkles with wing Harrison Barnes sidelined due to an ankle injury. So he turned to team security manager Ralph Walker and screamed, “That’s what I’m talking about!” And I say that knowing that LeBron James is incredibly talented and gifted and is a great player, but what Curry’s doing is remarkable.
The Warriors are off to a 18-0 start-the best start in National Basketball Association history-and they’re still chasing the all-time record of 33 straight wins. “Whether it means understanding how we have to play… knowing how to execute a game plan, and being able to measure yourself against the best team in the league”. “Nothing is going to be given away here”.
The Jazz have a chance at greatness Monday night. It took Steph Curry and Dub City to break it. “Nobody has accomplished what this team has tonight”, Curry said.
“The confidence is spread throughout everyone on our team”. “The more pressure, the bigger the moment, the more comfortable our guys feel”, interim head coach Luke Walton told reporters.
With the score tied at 101 with 51 seconds left, Curry made a three-pointer from the left wing to give the Warriors the lead.
“We knew it would be a tough game coming in here, ” said Green, who finished with 20 points, nine rebounds and seven assists.
Walker has gone 15 of 31 from 3-point range while averaging 23.4 points in his last seven games, while Lamb continues to produce in his sixth-man role, averaging 12.8 points on the season. His 12 points at halftime were the most out of any Warriors player. “It’s a great team, so to hear my name being called for the starting lineup is an honor”. “Ian as soon as he got here, he felt like he was a part of something, so he’s playing at a really high level”.
Utah has allowed an average of 93.2 points per game this season. The Celtics are the only team in the league with more offensive spot-up points than the Warriors and rank top 10 in points per game on offense and defense.
Hayward was hitting from all over the floor, setting the tone early with two straight first-quarter threes and finishing strong with a big jumper late and an alley-oop lob to Gobert that pumped up the crowd in the fourth quarter.
