So far, every game resulted in a win for the Golden State Warriors. Curry has had two 40-point games over the last five and he is shooting at a high rate with a 51 percent shooting percentage overall and he is connecting on 43 percent of his threes. After Rodney Hood’s basket brought the Jazz within 104-103, Curry missed a triple, giving the hosts a chance to take the lead. Draymond Green finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists. “Obviously, for us, we do a great job of just staying in the moment, ‘” the reigning league most valuable player said.

If they still emerge in those road games unscathed, the next few games would be relatively easier, which gives the Golden State Warriors the chance to make their record to 27-0 in the game against the Boston Celtics (9-8), Milwaukee Bucks (6-11), Phoenix Suns (8-9), and another game with the Bucks.
Stephen Curry was held in relative check for most of Monday night.

Stopping the Warriors, the league’s highest-scoring team at 115.3 points per game, figures to be a considerably tougher task. It makes sense. The Warriors hit some 3s they won’t usually hit. Rudy Gobert tops in rebounds with 10.8 and in blocks with 2.8 per game. The Warriors reserve guard, who played with Utah the past two years, had a team-high 12 points on four 3-pointers as the visitors took a 53-48 lead into halftime.
