It was not a game that stood out, a 103-85 win over the Utah Jazz, who fell to 12-15 as a result, but it does stand out that they keep winning, and have yet to lose a game at home this season, as the Warriors’ website points out.

Compared to all players at his position, Thompson ranks sixth this season in points per game at 19.3, but is third in shooting at 47.3 per cent and second in 3-point percentage at 43.7.
So far this season, no one has really challenged the Warriors. This win was a ideal example.
The Golden State Warriors’ head coach Steve Kerr watches his team prior to their game against the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 5 of the NBA Finals at Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif., on Sunday, June 14, 2015. Ingles played 20 minutes against the Warriors after just two against Phoenix, while Millsap didn’t play Wednesday after playing 10 minutes against Phoenix… Klay Thompson led the Warriors with 34 points. The resiliency of the defense was significant. Walton and the Warriors, though, insist they hadn’t even discussed it until after beating the Jazz. There were few bail outs of late-clock fouls, and plenty of tightly contested looks for the Jazz as the shot clock expired. He turned it around in the fourth quarter as the Jazz made a push.
The Golden State Warriors did the Utah Jazz a great honor, they treated this game as an actual game, and didn’t just sleepwalk through it all. Harrison Barnes’ eventual return, freeing up more minutes for blended line-ups, should only help matters.
The Warriors finally break through and capture a victory. Bogut was active at both ends – running the high-post offense and denying any clean looks within 5 feet of the basket. Rudy Gobert tops in rebounds with 10.9 and in blocks with 2.6 per game.
Curry is the NBA’s runaway leader in 3-pointers with 131 through 27 games.
In other words, the Jazz did a good job of taking the Warriors’ most efficient shots away from them.
“There’s always a little bit of rust with a layoff like we’ve had but it’s that time of the year, too”, interim Golden State coach Luke Walton said. “You’ve got to heal, you’ve got to recover and that’s what I’m doing”. There were also some more subtle individual adjustments.
The veteran Australian centre felt his back tighten up during warm-ups for the previous game but was confident he would be fit to face the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night. Will Curry continue his blazing form on Christmas night? All of these changes owe a debt to the Warriors’ focus.
Christmas, with five nationally televised games, is when the National Basketball Association pops onto the radar for some sports fans.
Despite the game being a regular season match, with potentially no outcome on the rest of the season, tickets are being sold for five figure sums. Every opponent seemingly gets up for the Warriors.
