NBA LIVE! Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors | December 10, 2025 Warriors vs Jazz 2K Regular season

feels like it should be a blowout. Well, on paper that would be the assumption, but BA, this is why we play the games. Anything can happen and any team can pull off an upset. All right, checking out Golden State’s opening lineup. Down low, it’ll be the tenacious pair of Butler and Draymond. Curry and Pods pairing up in the back court. And it’s Moody in at the three spot. Five on the clock. Here’s Bailey and it’s good with time running down on the shot clock. And even if he doesn’t have the wider frame some guys do, Bailey’s not going to let contact keep him from finishing. Whoa. Slamming it home on the taller defender. What swag. And keeping us updated from the sideline, Ally Leforce. Will Hardy gave me a few minutes to catch up with him. We discussed their matchup against Stephen Curry. And coach told me, “We have to be active. We have to be intense. We need to deny him the ball and smother him when he does have it. We have to take away his breathing room.” Well, we know what happens when you give Curry room to operate, guys. Back to you. Appreciate the report, Ally. First quarter, just over a minute played. Here’s Collier. Pass to Markin. And Markin with the stuff. And this is inexcusable. The defense must force Markin in further away from the rim. Curry passes to Butler. Green with a screen on Markin inside. Moody. Now here’s Butler. Down to five on the shot clock. Green with a screen on Marin. The shot by Butler. No good for Utah. They’ve gone two of three from the floor. Out to the right wing. Kesler finds George. Kesler. A screen on Curry. Back to Kesler. It’s tipped. Here’s Green. Soft touch off the glass. Green’s got his second basket of the game. We know Green prefers to work up close. He loves getting those high percentage looks. Pass to Kesler. Here’s Collier. And here’s Markin over Butler. Markin misses. Well, Larry Markin comes from a family full of athletes. Oh, yes indeed. BA Lor’s mom and dad were both pro basketball players and so was one of his brothers and his other brother is a professional soccer player. So, it definitely runs in the family. Knocks down the triple. Markin’s got five now. And I want to see Markining continue to shoot from deep because he’s a quality sniper with impressive range. Right side. Curry. Pass to Pajimski. Green with a screen on George. Four on the clock from downtown. It’s called in by Collier. Surprising to see him miss here, but they’ll be happy with that shot in most possessions. And stolen by Green. And the Warriors pushing it up now. Moody from outside. It’s hauled in by Collier. Utah leading by three. Pass to George. Just over three and a half minutes gone here in the first. Now here’s Kesler. Oh, got a piece of it and he slams it in onehanded. What a two-way play. Just tremendous. Yeah, the steel was slick. The slam topped it off. What a great sequence. You got to love the effort. That’s big time pass to Markin. Stay on it. George outside and here’s Kesler. Green covering and it goes out of bounds. That one off Green just a millisecond late. So close to coming up with a steal there. And regardless, it’s great effort. You love to see that kind of hustle on defense. Shot from the inbound and Markin gets it to go on the assist by Kesler. He has seven. Shots like this help Markin get in rhythm. The D must be aware of his ability to catch and fire. Pass to Curry to the middle. Here’s Green and it’s hammered home by Green hanging on the rim just showing off. That’s how you extend the glory right there. Here’s Bailey. Moody defends Bailey. The pass to Markin down low and Bailey gets it to go. Yeah, for this coaching staff, they want Bailey operating in the paint. I mean, he’s got athleticism and touch. Pass to Green. Stolen by Kesler. And stolen by Green. Butler against Kesler. Butler passes to Moody. Back to Butler. Green. A screen to the paint. Shot clock at five. And it’s hammered home by Green. What a nice read by Green. He’s got a basketball IQ off the charts. An incredible understanding of the game. Pass to Bailey. Utah moving the ball around. Here’s Kier. Markin sets a screen again. Utah good for two. Defensively, you can’t afford to get stuck on the pick. Well, you just have to communicate those switches. If you don’t, it’s on you. Now, here’s Curry. Still no points. And he gets that one. Love the intensity from Curry finding a way to work through the contact. Pass to Kesler. Here’s Bailey. And that one is stuffed right through. That one rock this arena. That’s the kind of dunk right there that makes you think he’s going to rip down the rim. Outside Moody outside Butler. And it’s Butler with the jam. And this is where Butler wants to attack you. Ground zero. Utah leading to the inside and stolen by Green. Pass to Curry from deep. The long distance three is buried. Curry’s got five. And a breakdown here, guys. The hustle stats for the Warriors. Yeah, they’re just attacking on defense, getting those hands out and knocking the ball free. I really like their energy defensively. And they’ve also done a really good job scoring off turnovers. Not just pressuring the ball, but cashing those in as scoring opportunities. George for three gets rebounded by Golden State. Butler with the ball outside. Green pass to Butler. Golden State needs to get off a shot. Here’s Pachimky. No good on the three. And he almost made them regret defending him so loosely. Here’s Collier. Pass to Bailey. And here’s Markin. Here’s Bailey. Moody defends. Nice deep from Moody. The Warriors leading now Curry. Five points in the game despite the miss. Those are the kind of looks coaches hope to create. Here’s Collier. Pass to Bailey. Now here’s Kesler defended by Pajki and finished off by Kesler. Come on now, guys. That’s flat out insane. Hey, when’s the last time you saw a jam like that? And Curry’s got the ball here for the Warriors. And Steve Cerr wants a timeout. He’s going to take a moment to give him a breather and talk things over. And Grant, when it comes to pure shot making ability, scouts love Ace Bailey’s natural tools. Yeah, when he’s taking good shots, he can carry the offense. Needs to get a little stronger and clean up a few things, but his upside as a Pass to Kaminga. And it’s blocked by Kesler. The Jazz have got eight out of 12 shots to fall. Here’s Collier guarded by Heel. Now here’s Kesler. Six on the shot clock. Down low. Deflects the pass. He’s got a clear path and the basket is good. And the Warriors lead by two. Utah’s gone one of two from three-point land so far. Here’s Collier. No made baskets yet. Pass to Kesler. Six to shoot. Here’s Philippowski for three. Collier. The rebound by Post. 156 left to play in the first. Lets it fly. The rebound by the Jazz. Well, that’s a tough matchup for the offense there. It’s a low probability on that shot. And let’s send it over to Alli Leforce. Thank you. The Utah Jazz are going young, but this is a franchise that has a winning history, and that culture is still around. Coach Will Hardy said the messaging doesn’t change. The players have bought to the little things that takes to win. This is a cohesive group that’s committed to helping each other. Back to you. Building the right way. Thanks a lot, Ally. Utah shooting their first foul shot of the game. Jimmy Butler’s checked in for the Warriors. One shot. And that one falls. That puts them up one point in the game now. And for the Warriors, they’re shooting a solid 50% in the opening quarter. Outside heel. Screen by Post. Clock at six to the middle. Count it. One for one to start the game. They’re punishing those late defensive rotations. Getting good looks inside throughout the half. Pass to Williams to the paint from seven ft. And there’s Kesler on the assist from Williams. Kesler’s got seven. Good heads up basketball. Sees an opening and capitalizes. And here’s healed. Back to Butler. Count it. Two for four from the field now. How talented is Butler? I mean, just so adept at carving out some space inside and converting. Pass to Williams. 17 seconds left to play in the first. Utah moving the ball around. Here’s Hendrickx. Jackson Davis grabs a miss and he can’t let that get to him. He should have made it, but he’s got to focus on the next one. Draymond Green has been on display for Golden State. He had the ball handlers off balance all quarter and came up with a bunch of steals. All right, stick around. We’ll be right back after this. And if you’re just joining us, it’s been a pretty even game through the first quarter. And what do you guys think about the Warriors here in this one? Well, they’ve used the fast break well to score easy points and keep the defense unsettled. Everybody in this league wants to run, but not everybody has the personnel to do it. This is a great start. Ysef Nerkach is out there with Philippowski. Then it’s Williams and it’s Hendrickx in the three, the small forward. That’s the group for Utah getting going in the second. Nerkach shot is good. Yeah, in the paint Nerkach can be a monster. He’s got all the physical gifts he needs to dominate. It Butler against Williams. Pass the post. Now here’s Jackson Davis. Healed for three. Rebounded by Nerkach. And this is exactly who you want taking that shot. He just missed it inside. Ooh, good finish at the rack off a slick feed. Now it’s a three-point Jazz lead. And that’s exactly the type of pass we expect from a guy with his vision. Heel passes to Butler and Butler inside. This is why they will go to him often. He’s going to take and make shots. Second quarter here. Just over a minute and a half played. Three-pointer connects from downtown and the Jazz lead by four. And that’s on the defense giving him a decent look. That’s his shot. But he sure doesn’t turn it down down low and he dumps it. What a pass to set him up. His big time on the rim puts a sweet Sherry on top. Ba. It’s a close game and those displays of explosiveness can jumpst start a team. Scream by Post. Heel for three. He drops it from range. He’s got his first bucket of the game and he’s on the board for three. Pass to Nerkitz. Here’s Hendrickx. Now Williams. Hey, expanding his range. That one is off. The Warriors have gotten three of four field goals in the second quarter. Butler. Oh, look at Butler. Focused as always. And the chess match continues. Seven lead changes already and we’re still in the first half. And so Will Hardy calls a timeout. Coach probably just checking to make sure everybody’s on the same page here. And it’s Utah with the ball. They trail by one. Pass to Nerkitz. Tipped. And it’s out of bounds. Still Utah’s ball. And the Warriors making a change here. Green is checked in. And in the second quarter, a little under three and a half minutes played already. Here’s George. Just four to shoot. Marketing for three. Excellent D there from Kuminga. The Warriors have gone a terrific four or five here in the second quarter. Butler finds Kuminga. Oh, Kuminga. Just a menace inside. And it sure seems like postplay has evolved quite a bit over the past decade or two. Yeah, it really has. I mean, there aren’t many big men who operate only on the low block anymore, but if they do, they’re considered throwbacks. George outside. It’s stolen by Kuminga. Pass to Butler. Ooh, the lead pass was in the perfect spot to set up the layup. And now a five-point Warrior lead. Yeah, great move by Butler setting the pick then getting the score. Nerkach passes to George and here’s Philippowski. Utah moving the ball around. Just five to shoot. A deep three. Utah with another miss. And here are the Warriors now. They’re on a 13-5 run. Pass to Green now. Healed from behind the ark. Rebounded by Nerkach. Jazz trail by five. Here’s Bailey. He has six. George outside to the inside. Here’s Markinan and Markinan with the stuff. Oh, what ferocity on the throw down. I just love when he goes up with purpose. Where was the D right there? The effort lacking big time. Well, defensively, you can’t allow that in a game this close. Curry, no good. The Jazz have got five of seven shots to fall in the second. Pass to Nerkitz. Here’s Bailey. Green covering Bailey. The pass to George. Oh, deflected. Curry with a steal. Here’s Kuminga. Oh, Kuminga putting on a show out here. Using his superb court vision, Green is able to routinely find his open teammate. And so, Will Hardy calls a timeout. We might see him looking to make some tweaks to the strategy. Oh my. They’re coached. I got yours. Here’s Collier. No points yet. Pass to Kesler. Here’s Collier. Kesler. A screen to the middle. Deflects the pass. Cranked it in off the glass. And I like the fact they didn’t settle there. They worked for a higher percentage shot. Outside Green. outside Curry. Oh, Curry stretching the limits. Wow, what a shot. Look at how solid Curry’s motion is. Almost like he could have done that blindfolded. Here’s Collier Kesler. A screen on Curry. Four on the clock and finished off by Kesler. I just love the aggressive finish. Now I’m thinking he’s sending a strong message with that jam outside. Moody pass to Butler. Oo. Now seven for nine after that make. Woo. Just selling the defense on the pump fake. Jazz trail by six. Here’s Collier. He’s scoreless to the paint. And here comes the break. Here’s Moody. Oh, plenty of contact on that shot. Officials call the foul and he’ll take two free throws now. First trip to the free throw line for him in this one. First free throw is good. Well, legs, when we talk about current players, who are the guys you want taking the shot with the game on the line right now? Well, certainly the tried andrue like Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. You can’t go wrong there. Or a multi-time MVP in Nola Jokic. Post checked in for the Warriors. That one misses. So he goes one for two. Jazz trail by seven. Bailey the pass to George and that one drops. Just a gutsy play by George inside finding the close-range look. Outside Green outside Curry for three. Curry splashes it in. The defense really fell apart there. You can’t afford to leave them all alone at the ark. Utah’s gone one of four from three-point land here in the second. Kesler down low. He’s against post. Here’s the break. Pass to Moody outside Green and he can’t extend the lead to double digits. The Jazz have gone eight of 11 in the second quarter. Oh, and Mark and finishes the big man from Finland. Lowry getting up. The Warriors lead by six. And here’s Curry. 11 points in the game. Ooh, power down with both hands. And you can’t leave the basket unprotected. Bad things will happen to you. Yeah, that was just way too easy. And now this offense feels like they can just do whatever they want. And so Will Hardy calls the timeout. A moment to rest and confer on the game plan. Eight-point game. Back to George. to the middle. Picked it out of midair. Oh, and a fast break for the Warriors. Moody passes to Green. Some solid defense from marketing. That’s going up against a defense that knows your tendencies. To the wing on the left. Here’s Collier. No points so far. Five to shoot. Here’s Bailey. Pajimky grabs the board. The Warriors lead by eight. High post. Green. Markin’s there outside. Moody pass to Curry. Got a hand on it. Oh, great D by the rookie Bailey making an impact. Collier no good. Yeah, he probably shouldn’t have taken that shot there. The defensive intensity was all over. Curry passes to Moody to the inside. Here’s Green. It’s held in by Collier. Collier’s got four rebounds now. The shot from the low post is good. Yeah, he found some room there along the baseline. Some space at the rim. Goes right up and puts it in without resistance past the post. Now here’s Curry. Lets it go from deep. Buries it from three. Curry’s got nine points now in the quarter. Well, guys, I’m happy I’m not guarding Steph right now. On nights like tonight, Curry can do no wrong. Here’s Collier. He’s covered by Curry. Back to George. Fires the three. Gets the three to fall. George has got seven. Yeah, everybody will remember the bucket. But how about that pass to set it up? Curry looking it over. Curry creates inside. I love the shot selection from him right and it’s the Warriors with the ball on the floor for the Warriors. Curry and Pods pairing up in the back court down low. It’ll be the tenacious pair of Butler and Draymond. And it’s Moody in at the three slot. Butler against Markin and clock at four. Here’s Simsky off target. That would have pushed the lead to double digits. Pass to Bailey. The three is up. Hits a three-pointer. Bailey’s got nine. And you know Bailey isn’t going to pass on those chances. He’s looking to make an impact on the ark. Outside Pajki. And here is Green outside. Curry three-pointer. And that one’s good. And Green with the assist. Green’s got three assists now in this one. And with a little over a minute gone by, the second half is underway. Mark and misses. That’s how you stay connected to a shooter. Was right in his jersey. George right side pass to Collier Markin with a screen on Curry. Here’s Bailey and stolen by Green. Gives us a chance to catch up with Alli Leforce. Thank you, Brian. Stephen Curry is nearing the finish line. He said, “Every year there’s some new style, new energy coming through that challenges you and seeing these young dudes come up and understanding how much talent there is. This is not going to be around forever, so enjoy every moment of it. Brian, back to you. Thanks a lot, Ally. Here’s Collier. Pass to Kesler over to the left wing. That’s good from Collier on the assist by Markin. Every coach in this league loves assisted baskets. It indicates your offense is flowing the way it’s supposed to. Now here’s Butler outside. Curry from deep. Oh, that’s his eighth make of the game. He’s only missed four so far. Not sure there’s such a thing as a bad three for Steph. And so Will Hardy calls the timeout. And we might see some changes. Coach potentially looking to adjust. A touch over two and a half minutes of basketball played here in the third quarter and finished off by Kesler. I would imagine it’s nearly impossible to not get fired up after that play. Grant, check these guys out on the bench. Their reaction says it all. They are fired up. Now here’s Butler. 14 points for him. Outside Curry. Fires from deep. Another three for Golden State. Just incredible. I mean, he’s really making it rain out there, knocking them down one after another. This defense is trying to stay connected to him, but he is on a mission. Pass to market. Utah moving the ball around. Just five on the clock. George for three. The Warriors pull it in. Second half here and we’re just over 3 and 1/2 minutes into it. Nice one-handed jam there, BA. Hey, little exclamation point. And Markinan with the stuff. And offensively, Markin is in the zone. He’s using his size well and the defense hasn’t had an answer. Now here’s Curry. He’s got 25. Wow. Curry takes the hit and finishes inside and just totally relentless. Only increasing the intensity level. Yeah, he can taste a win right now. He’s just trying to close it out. And a bit of a battle for the ball. And the officials signal a jump ball here. nabbing another steal and that’s his sixth steal of the night. Imposing his will at the defensive end. You got to love it. But Jimky shot is good. And a breakdown here, guys, of the hustle stats for the Warriors. Yeah, they’ve collected an impressive number of steals so far using fast hands to force some turnovers and then scoring on the other end. And their relentless pace has really taken a toll on the opposition. Here’s George. Uses the glass on the layup. George has got nine and just musling it in. George very aggressive left side. Curry steps back and fires and there’s another one for the Warriors. He’s been carrying the load on offense in this one and he might as well keep looking for his shot the way he’s been going. George passes to Markin. Markin using his size inside. Being Markin is 7 feet tall. He’s absolutely an inside threat. I just love watching him capitalize from this area. Here’s Curry. Rebounded by the Jazz. Kesler’s got six rebounds here tonight. Pass to Bailey. Tipped outside. Moody. Green. A screen. Moody passes to Green. Oh, Kesler with the block. They retain possession. Plenty of daylight on that shot. Curry’s got 32 points in the game. Their strategy has been pretty simple here in the second half. Attack from three-point range. Well, they certainly have the shooters to do it. It’s just about finding that rhythm. Now, here’s Kesler. 13 points in the game. Shot clock at six. Markin it from long range. The Warriors pull it in. Curry’s got his fourth rebound in this one. Outside Moody. Back to Curry. Right side. Butler. Moody from outside. Rebounded by Bailey. Jazz trail by 16 and slammed it home and a foul. A chance at another point at the line. That one on Kesler and baskets like this get Green fired up. When you get physical with him, he takes it personally. All right, the Jazz making a change here. Philowski’s checked in. Heels checked in for the Warriors. And that one misses. Tim, you got into the NBA media very quickly after your playing days. Were you naturally drawn to this side of the game? Well, BA, I think I always saw the game as a coach would trying to watch all 10 players at the same time. So for me, the ability to stay connected to the game while also talking about it and hopefully teaching people really is what’s drawn me to it from the beginning. And no suffering the L from the broadcast table. That’s for sure. You don’t have to have any sleepless nights. Kesler with a bucket. Everybody appreciates that extra effort on the glass. Pass to Green. And here’s Curry. Green. The pass to Butler. Come get it. Come get it. Good. Good. And again, no good by Golden State. And you see the frustration on his face. He had a great opportunity there and he blew it. Here’s Kier. Pass to Bailey. Now here’s Kesler. Utah moving the ball around. down low and stolen by Green. Here’s Butler and it’s Butler with the jam. A fearless finish from a fearless player. Jimmy making some noise. Here’s Collier. George outside. Silowski sets a screen. George passes to Bailey. Six to shoot. Curry with a steal. and he drops it in from the low post. Curry’s got 34. Can’t lose sight of Curry on the break. That’s when he strikes. He has fantastic awareness. Inside. Here’s Philippowski. It’s rebounded by Jimmy Butler. The Warriors lead by 20. Green. The pass to Curry. And that one’s good. and Green with the assist. Green’s got four assists in the game. Here’s Collier. Pass to Philippowski here, baby. Yousef Nerkach. He’s checked in for Kesler. Hendrickx comes in for Bailey. And Williams is subbed in for George. The Warriors lead by 23. Watch the screen. Outside heel. Here’s the three. Rebounded by Nerkach. It’s just not his night from the three. But this is exactly why you can’t live and die by that shot. And you watch Buddy Heel. Tim, a 6’4 sharp shooting guard. Some similarities to your game. Well, he gets those threes up at a rate I could only dream about back when I played BA. The green light that shooters play with these days. I tell you what, it must be nice. Counted from distance. The fine from Buddy Heel. I’d like to see him do that more. Spread the ball around. Nerk a screen on Curry looking to win the run. And it’s laid in by Nerkach. Nerk has got six. Yeah, I love that. and he comes off the pick and takes it right to the hole. Williams against heel outside. Kaminga. Four on the clock. Back to Heel. Takes a three. Utah grabs the miss. He didn’t make them pay for that weak defense, but they just can’t rely on him to miss those kind of shots. Pass to Nerkach. Here’s Hrix. He’s watched by Kuminga. Oh, there’s the Alli. Hammers the lob through. Oh, what a perfect pass to set that up. Hey, the feed might have been pretty, but the finish that was angry. 52 seconds left in the third quarter. The three from Curry fires in the triple. Curry’s got 43 points. Yeah, the sweet looking jumper of Steph. It just looks so pure coming out of his hands. Pass to Williams. Now here’s Nerkach guarded by Post. Here’s Hrix. Launches a three. Sinks it from distance. And both teams running long range plays that are working. Yeah, just going back and forth. It is really competitive out there. Now here’s heel. Now here’s Post from outside the ark. It’s rebounded by Hrix. Pass to Collier to the middle. Here’s Philippowski. No good with a layup. Ah, and you see the bench react as that layup doesn’t drop. That’s not exactly what they were expecting. And three quarters of play in the books. This one’s all but over already. Warriors ahead just dominating this one. And coming up as soon as we return from break, the fourth quarter gets underway. And a moment now as we take a look at our State Farm assist of the game. And the winner today coming from an unlikely position. It’s the big fella with the sweetest pass of the day. Yeah, right there, he wasn’t a ball stopper. He kept his eyes up and his options open. And we reach the fourth quarter in a game that may already be out of hand. We’ve got Philippowski also Ysef Nerkach out there. Lorie Markin out there with Williams. That’s the five on the floor for the Jazz. Utah moving the ball around. Down to five on the shot clock. The Jazz need to get one up in a hurry. Hey, from beyond the ark, rebounded by Butler. The Warriors shooting at around 60% in this one. Very efficient to the inside and stolen by Markin. Williams on the wing. He’s watched by Kuminga. It’s stolen by Kuminga in transition. Here they come. Perfect pass to set up the layin. I just love how he runs the floor with energy and intensity, but still stays under control. In this league, you run whenever you can. It’s so much easier to score in transition. Now, here’s Markin outside. Williams. Markin sets a screen. Five on the clock. Williams passes to Markin. No good with the triple. Pass to Butler. Now here’s Jackson Davis. Heel for three. Utah grabs the miss. Philippowski’s got four rebounds now to the paint. Buries it down low. What a great pass. It was on time and on target. And it’s the Warriors with the ball. A great fourth quarter. just given up two points. Outside Butler, rebounded by Nerkach. Nerk has got five rebounds in the game. Pass to Marin. Now Nerkach guarded by Post. Nerk a screen on Kaminga. Here’s Williams. They get the rebound. Doesn’t go for him. The Warriors have gotten just one shot to fall out of three attempts in the fourth. Nice shot by Kaminga. Like a matador. Olay. There was no defense. That has to be one of the easier shots I’ve seen tonight. And they are just breaking the will of their opponent. Here’s Philippowski. Nice assist and nice finish. Solid play. Just about 3 minutes through the fourth and final quarter here. So, it’ll be two free throws. He was fouled in the act of shooting. No debate there. He he got hammered. shooting two. That one’s off. and he sinks the second. We’re in the final quarter play here, 3 minutes in. Marking it outside. Pass to Kesler. Utah moving the ball around. Shot clock at five. It’s tipped yet stolen by Heel. Now Curry. And here’s Post. He’s covered by Kesler. Butler with the ball working on Filiposki 11 feet out and again it’s the Warriors missing. The Jazz have gone two of five from the field in this final quarter. going to with the stuff doing what he can to help shrink the deficit, but it has to be a team effort. Outside Curry from 12 ft. Basket’s good. Curry’s got 45 points. Yeah, and mid-range Jays are no problem for Curry. Defenders can forget about his confidence from there, too. Here’s Markin and he converts the layup. And that is a high quality shot. You will take it every time from that close. Heel against Williams. The three. And there’s Curry on the assist by Heield. Curry’s got five points now this quarter. More than just a score. He moves the ball well, especially when his guys are open. Finish. Just five to shoot. Pass to Williams. Hey, puts up a three. Jimmy Butler with a rebound. Butler’s got four rebounds now. Jimmy. And here’s Post. Here’s Butler. Williams defending with the fadeaway. And again, it’s Golden State. There’s not much you can do to slow down Butler in the mid-range. He just Golden State has gone one of two from deep in this quarter. He’ll ball. Jackson Davis a screen and he jams it home with authority. You know, he’s smaller for the center position by NBA standards, but his leaping ability more than makes up for his lack of height. Now, here’s Kesler. Here’s Collier. Back to Kesler. Utah moving the ball around. Six on the shot clock. George for three. Warriors with the rebound. Here’s Santos. Pass to heel. Screen by Post. Launches it and it’s healed. Missing. The Jazz have got five out of 10 shots to drop here in the final quarter. Here’s Bailey. Now Kesler pass to Collier. Markin sets a screen.

Kesler’s got doubledigit rebounds now in the game. Here’s Collier. Markin with a screen on heel. Puts it up. Shots good by Collier. The Warriors have gotten six of 12 shots to go here in this fourth quarter. Now here’s Post. He’s covered by Kesler. Kaminga down low, shoots over Bailey. Kuminga shot is off. And for the Jazz, they’re shooting the rock at 58%. Here’s Collier. George outside. Puts it up from the high post. The Warriors pull it in. Here’s Santos. goes up and lays it in nice and easy. Now George fires for three. It falls. Five for 11 in the game. And there’s a nice rhythm to his three-point shot. You know, George has a confident stroke. Pass to Santos. Back to heel. Five to shoot. Lets a three fly. That one no good. And he probably thought he was going to bury that one. George finds Markin. And that’s a foul called on Clinton Post. That’s foul number two for him. Get open. Pass to Collier. Get stolen by Heel. Here’s Santos. Clock at six. Back to Heel. Utah grabs the miss. Collier’s got five rebounds tonight. Down low. Here’s Bailey. Pass to Collier. Inside. Ball stolen. Now, an update on Jimmy Butler’s injury. Let’s go to Alli Leforce. Hi guys. The head athletic trainer for the Warriors provided some info for us. He let me know that it’s a strained hip which causes plenty of soreness and shooting pain in that area. Normally, this is an injury that would take a while to recover from, but they’re saying he may be able to play on it. We’ll be monitoring the situation and keep you updated. All right, Ally, thanks for the intel. Ah, unfortunately, that’s not the news fans were hoping for. Definitely not. Seems like he’s got a long, tough road ahead of him. Well, you hate to see that. Let’s hope the prognosis isn’t as bad as it looks right now. And he drops a first. Cold shots good from the strike. Utah has gone just one of six from downtown in this final quarter. And you can see how scary this team can be when everything is clicking for them. Just a terrific performance for the Warriors. And it was a big time performance across the board. They looked like they were having fun out there, Grant. Yeah, BA. It was almost like watching a cat play with a mouse. I mean, they did pretty much anything they wanted to do out there today. And as it was happening, as it was building, you knew this was a monster game for Stephen Curry. Yeah, he was just laser focused in that game. It got to the point where you just knew if he shot it, it was going in. The first one falls and there’s no question George can fill it up. For him, it’s about focusing on shooting good percentages. Post has checked in for the Warriors. He does not get the second one. Well, I’m sure he wanted to hit all of them, but he was still able to chip away a little bit more at this lead. Pass to Heel. And the officials will call the illegal screen here. You can get away with one once in a while, but it looked like he wasn’t completely set on that pick. Well, often times illegal screens fall into a gray area, but that time he got called for it. 46 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Yep. Count it. And the advantage he has is clear. Just taking what the defense gives him right there. Here’s Golden State. to the paint. He shoots it. Oh, and there’s a one-hand jam. And they came in here with some attitude and it brought out their best play. Winning away from home takes nerve and great discipline. Kudos to them. Now, here’s Kesler. 6sec difference between the shot clock and game clock. Mark in for three. It doesn’t go for him. And here’s healed. And so Golden State takes this one. And by a big margin, this one wasn’t even. Is it fair to say this feels like it should be a blowout? Well, on paper, that would be the assumption. But BA, this is why we play the games. Anything can happen and any team can pull off an upset. All right, checking out Golden State’s opening lineup. Down low, it’ll be the tenacious pair of Butler and Draymond. Curry and Pods pairing up in the back court. And it’s Moody in at the three spot. Five on the clock. Here’s Bailey. And it’s good with time running down on the shot clock. And even if he doesn’t have the wider frame some guys do, Bailey’s not going to let contact keep him from finishing. Whoa. Slamming it home on the taller defender. What swag? And keeping us updated from the sideline, Ally Leforce. Will Hardy gave me a few minutes to catch up with him. We discussed their matchup against Stephen Curry. And coach told me, “We have to be active. We have to be intense. We need to deny him the ball and smother him when he does have it. We have to take away his breathing room.” Well, we know what happens when you give Curry room to operate, guys. Back to you. Appreciate the report, Ally. First quarter, just over a minute played. Here’s Collier. Pass to Markin. And Markin with the stop. And this is inexcusable. The defense must force Markin further away from the rim. Curry passes to Butler. Green with a screen on Marin inside. Outside Moody now. Here’s Butler. Down to five on the shot clock. Green with a screen on Marin. The shot by Butler. No good for Utah. They’ve gone two of three from the floor. Out to the right wing. Kesler finds George. Kesler. A screen on Curry. Back to Kesler. It’s tipped. Here’s Green. Soft touch off the glass. Green’s got his second basket of the game. We know Green prefers to work up close. He loves getting those high percentage looks. Pass to Kesler. Here’s Collier. And here’s Markin over Butler. Markin misses. Well, Larry Markin comes from a family full of athletes. Oh, yes indeed. BA Lor’s mom and dad were both pro basketball players and so was one of his brothers and his other brother is a professional soccer player. So, it definitely runs in the family. Knocks down the triple. Markin’s got five now. And I want to see Markin continue to shoot from deep because he’s a quality sniper with impressive range. Right side. Curry. Pass to Pajimski. Green with a screen on George. Four on the clock from downtown. It’s held in by Collier. Surprising to see him miss here, but they’ll be happy with that shot in most possessions. And stolen by Green. And the Warriors pushing it up now. Moody from outside. It’s held in by Collier. Utah leading by three. Pass to George. Just over three and a half minutes gone here in the first. Now here’s Kesler. Oh, got a piece of it and he slams it in one-handed. What a two-way play. Just tremendous. Yeah, the steel was slick. The slam topped it off. What a great sequence. You’ve got to love the effort. That’s big time. Pass to Marin. George outside and here’s Kesler. Green covering and it goes out of bounds. That one off Green just a millisecond late. So close to coming up with a steal there. And regardless, it’s great effort. You love to see that kind of hustle on defense. Shot from the inbound and Markin gets it to go on the assist by Kesler. He has seven. Shots like this help Markin get in rhythm. The D must be aware of his ability to catch and fire. Pass to Curry to the middle. Here’s Green and it’s hammered home by Green. Hanging on the rim just showing off. That’s how you extend the glory right there. Here’s Bailey. Moody defends. Bailey the pass to Markin down low and Bailey gets it to go. Yeah, for this coaching staff they want Bailey operating in the paint. I mean he’s got athleticism and touch. Pass to Green. Stolen by Kesler and stolen by Green. Butler against Kesler. Butler passes to Moody. Back to Butler. Green. A screen to the paint. Shot clock at five. And it’s hammered home by Green. What a nice read by Green. He’s got a basketball IQ off the charts. An incredible understanding of the game. Pass to Bailey. Utah moving the ball around. Here’s Kier. Markin sets a screen again. Utah good for two. Defensively, you can’t afford to get stuck on the pick. Well, you just have to communicate those switches. If you don’t, it’s on you. Now, here’s Curry. Still no points. And he gets that one. Love the intensity from Curry finding a way to work through the contact. Pass to Kesler. Here’s Bailey. And that one is stuffed right through. That one rocked this arena. That’s the kind of dunk right there that makes you think he’s going to rip down the rim. Outside Moody outside Butler, it’s Butler with the jam. And this is where Butler wants to attack you. Ground zero. Utah leading to the inside and stolen by Green. Pass to Curry. It’s from deep. The long distance three is buried. Curry’s got five. And a breakdown here, guys. The hustle stats for the Warriors. Yeah, they’re just attacking on defense, getting those hands out and knocking the ball free. I really like their energy defensively. And they’ve also done a really good job scoring off turnovers. Not just pressuring the ball, but cashing those in as scoring opportunities. George for three. It’s rebounded by Golden State. Butler with the ball outside. Green pass to Butler. Golden State needs to get off a shot. Here’s Pimsky. No good on the three. And he almost made them regret defending him so loosely. Here’s Collier. Pass to Bailey. And here’s Markin. Here’s Bailey. Moody defends. Nice D from Moody. The Warriors leading now Curry. Five points in the game despite the miss. Those are the kind of looks coaches hope to create. Here’s Collier. Pass to Bailey. Now here’s Kesler defended by Pajki and finished off by Kesler. Come on now guys. That’s flat out insane. Hey, when’s the last time you saw a jam like that? And Curry’s got the ball here for the Warriors. And Steve Cerr wants a timeout. He’s going to take a moment to give him a breather and talk things over. And Grant, when it comes to pure shot making ability, scouts love Ace Baileyy’s natural tools. Yeah, when he’s taking good shots, he can carry the offense. Needs to get a little stronger and clean up a few things, but his upside as a Pass to Kaminga. And it’s blocked by Kesler. The Jazz have got eight out of 12 shots to fall. Here’s Collier guarded by Heel. Now here’s Kesler. Six on the shot clock. Down low. Deflects the pass. He’s got a clear path and the basket is good. And the Warriors lead by two. Utah’s gone one of two from three-point land so far. Here’s Collier. No made baskets yet. Pass to Kesler. Six to shoot. Here’s Philippowski for three. Collier. The rebound by Post. 156 left to play in the first. Lets it fly. The rebound by the Jazz. Well, that’s a tough matchup for the offense there. It’s a low probability on that shot. And let’s send it over to Alli Leforce. Thank you. The Utah Jazz are going young, but this is a franchise that has a winning history, and that culture is still around. Coach Will Hardy said the messaging doesn’t change. The players have bought into the little things that takes to win. This is a cohesive group that’s committed to helping each other. Back to you. Building the right way. Thanks a lot, Ally. Utah shooting their first foul shot of the game. Jimmy Butler’s checked in for the Warriors. One shot. And that one falls. That puts them up one point in the game now. And for the Warriors, they’re shooting a solid 50% in the opening quarter. Outside heel. Screen by Post. Clock at six to the middle. Count it. One for one to start the game. They’re punishing those late defensive rotations. Getting good looks inside throughout the half. Pass to Williams to the paint from seven ft. And there’s Kesler on the assist from Williams. Kesler’s got seven. Good heads up basketball. Sees an opening and capitalizes. And here’s healed. Back to Butler. Count it. Two for four from the field now. How talented is Butler? I mean, just so adept at carving out some space inside and converting. Pass to Williams. 17 seconds left to play in the first. Utah moving the ball around. Here’s Hendrickx. Jackson Davis grabs a miss and he can’t let that get to him. He should have made it, but he’s got to focus on the next one. Draymond Green has been on display for Golden State. He had the ball handlers off balance all quarter and came up with a bunch of steals. All right, stick around. And we’ll be right back after this. And if you’re just joining us, it’s been a pretty even game through the first quarter. And what do you guys think about the Warriors here in this one? Well, they’ve used the fast break well to score easy points and keep the defense unsettled. Everybody in this league wants to run, but not everybody has the personnel to do it. This is a great start. Ysef Nerkach is out there with Philipski and it’s Williams and it’s Hendrickx in the three small forward. That’s the group for Utah getting going in the second. Nerkach shot is good. Yeah, in the paint Nerkach can be a monster. He’s got all the physical gifts he needs to dominate. It Butler against Williams. Pass to post. Now here’s Jackson Davis. Healed for three. Rebounded by Nerkach. And this is exactly who you want taking that shot. He just missed it inside. Ooh, good finish at the rack off a slick feed. Now it’s a three-point Jazz lead. And that’s exactly the type of pass we expect from a guy with his vision. Heel passes to Butler and Butler inside. This is why they will go to him often. He’s going to take and make shots. Second quarter here. Just over a minute and a half played. Three-pointer connects from downtown and the Jazz lead by four. And that’s on the defense giving him a decent look. That’s his shot. But he sure doesn’t turn it down down low and he dumps it. What a pass to set him up. His day time on the rim puts a sweet Sherry on top. Ba. It’s a close game and those displays of explosiveness can jumpst start a team. Scream by post. Heel for three. He drops it from range. He’s got his first bucket of the game and he’s on the board for three. Pass to Nerkitz. Here’s Hendrickx. Now Williams. Hey, expanding his range. That one is off. The Warriors have gotten three of four field goals in the second quarter. Butler. Oh, look at Butler. Focused as always. And the chess match continues. Seven lead changes already and we’re still in the first half. And so Will Hardy calls the timeout. Coach probably just checking to make sure everybody’s on the same page here. And it’s Utah with the ball. They trail by one. Pass to Nerkitz. Tipped. And it’s out of bounds. Still Utah’s ball. And the Warriors making a change here. Green is checked in. And in the second quarter, a little under three and a half minutes played already. Here’s George. Just four to shoot. Marketing for three. Excellent D there from Kuminga. The Warriors have gone a terrific four or five here in the second quarter. Butler finds Kuminga. Oh, Kuminga. Just a menace inside. And it sure seems like postplay has evolved quite a bit over the past decade or two. Yeah, it really has. I mean, there aren’t many big men who operate only on the low block anymore, but if they do, they’re considered throwbacks. George outside. It’s stolen by Kuminga. Pass to Butler. Ooh, the lead pass was in the perfect spot to set up the layup. And now a five-point Warrior lead. Yeah, great move by Butler setting the pick then getting the score. Nerkach passes to George and here’s Philippowski. Utah moving the ball around. Just five to shoot. A deep three. Utah with another miss. And here are the Warriors now. They’re on a 13-5 run. Pass to Green now. Healed from behind the arc. Rebounded by Nerkach. Jazz trail by five. Here’s Bailey. He has six. George outside to the inside. Here’s Markinan and Markinan with the stuff. Oh, what ferocity on the throw down. I just love when he goes up with purpose. Where was the D right there? The effort lacking big time. Well, defensively, you can’t allow that in a game this close. Curry, no good. The Jazz have got five of seven shots to fall in the second. Pass to Nerkach. Here’s Bailey. Green covering Bailey. The pass to George. Oh, deflected. Curry with a steal. Here’s Kuminga. Oh, Kuminga putting on a show out here. Using his superb court vision, Green is able to routinely find his open teammate. And so, Will Hardy calls a timeout. We might see him looking to make some tweaks to the strategy. Oh my. They’re coached. I got yours. Here’s Collier. No points yet. Pass to Kesler. Here’s Collier. Kesler. A screen to the middle. Deflects the pass. Banked it in off the glass. And I like the fact they didn’t settle there. They worked for a higher percentage shot. Outside Green outside. Curry. Oh, Curry stretching the limits. Wow, what a shot. Look at how solid Curry’s motion is. Almost like he could have done that blindfolded. Here’s Collier. Kesler. A screen on Curry. Four on the clock and finished off by Kesler. I just love the aggressive finish. I’m thinking he’s sending a strong message with that jam outside. Moody pass to Butler. Oo, now seven for nine after that make. Woo. Just selling the defense on the pump fake. Jazz trail by six. Here’s Collier. He’s scoreless to the paint. And here comes the break. Here’s Moody. Oh, plenty of contact on that shot. Officials call the foul and he’ll take two free throws now. First trip to the free throw line for him in this one. First free throw is good. Well, legs, when we talk about current players, who are the guys you want taking the shot with the game on the line right now? Well, certainly the tried andrue like Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. You can’t go wrong there. Or a multi-time MVP in Nola Joic. Post checked in for the Warriors. That one misses. So he goes one for two. Jazz trail by seven. Bailey the pass to George and that one drops. Just a gutsy play by George inside finding the close-range look. Outside Green outside Curry for three. Curry splashes it in. The defense really fell apart there. You can’t afford to leave them all alone at the arc. Utah’s gone one of four from three-point land here in the second. Kesler down low. He’s against post. Here’s the break. Pass to Moody outside Green and he can’t extend the lead to double digits. The Jazz have gone eight of 11 in the second quarter. Oh, and Mark and finishes the big man from Finland. Lowry getting up. The Warriors lead by six. And here’s Curry. 11 points in the game. Ooh, power down with both hands. And you can’t leave the basket unprotected. Bad things will happen to you. Yeah, that was just way too easy. And now this offense feels like they can just do whatever they want. And so Will Hardy calls the timeout. A moment to rest and confer on the game plan. Eight-point game. Back to George. to the middle. Picked it out of midair. Oh, and a fast break for the Warriors. Moody passes to Green. Some solid defense from Marketing. That’s going up against a defense that knows your tendencies. To the wing on the left. Here’s Collier. No points so far. Five to shoot. Here’s Bailey. Pajimky grabs the board. The Warriors lead by eight. High post. Green. Markin’s there outside. Moody pass to Curry. Got a hand on it. Oh, great D by the rookie Bailey making an impact. Collier no good. Yeah, he probably shouldn’t have taken that shot there. The defensive intensity was all over. Curry passes to Moody to the inside. Here’s Green. It’s hauled in by Collier. Collier’s got four rebounds now. The shot from the low post is good. Yeah, he found some room there along the baseline. Some space at the rim. Goes right up and puts it in without resistance. Pass the post. Now here’s Curry. Lets it go from deep. Buries it from three. Curry’s got nine points now in the quarter. Well, guys, I’m happy I’m not guarding Steph right now. On nights like tonight, Curry can do no wrong. Here’s Collier. He’s covered by Curry. Back to George. Fires the three. Gets the three to fall. George has got seven. Yeah, everybody will remember the bucket. But how about that pass to set it up? Curry looking it over. Curry creates inside. I love the shot selection from him. Right. And it’s the Warriors with the ball on the floor for the Warriors. Curry and Pods pairing up in the back court. Down low. It’ll be the tenacious pair of Butler and Draymond. And it’s Moody in at the three slot. Butler against Markin and clock at four. Here’s Simsky off target. That would have pushed the lead to double digits. Pass to Bailey. The three is up. Hits a three-pointer. Bailey’s got nine. And you know Bailey isn’t going to pass on those chances. He’s looking to make an impact on the ark. Outside Pajki and here is Green outside. Curry three-pointer and that one’s good. And Green with the assist. Green’s got three assists now in this one. And with a little over a minute gone by, the second half is underway. Mark and misses. That’s how you stay connected to a shooter. Was right in his jersey. George right side pass to Collier Markin with a screen on Curry. Here’s Bailey and stolen by Green. Gives us a chance to catch up with Alli Leforce. Thank you, Brian. Stephen Curry is nearing the finish line. He said, “Every year there’s some new style, new energy coming through that challenges you and seeing these young dudes come up and understanding how much talent there is. This is not going to be around forever. So enjoy every moment of it.” Brian, back to you. Thanks a lot, Ally. Here’s Collier. Pass to Kesler over to the left wing. That’s good from Collier on the assist by Markin. Every coach in this league loves assisted baskets. It indicates your offense is flowing the way it’s supposed to. Now here’s Butler outside. Curry from deep. Oh, that’s his eighth make of the game. He’s only missed four so far. Not sure there’s such a thing as a bad three for Steph. And so Will Hardy calls a timeout. And we might see some changes. Coach potentially looking to adjust. Yes. A touch over two and a half minutes of basketball played here in the third quarter. And finished off by Kesler. I would imagine it’s nearly impossible to not get fired up after that play. Grant, check these guys out on the bench. Their reaction says it all. They are fired up. Now, here’s Butler. 14 points for him outside. Curry, fires from deep. Another three for Golden State. Just incredible. I mean, he’s really making it rain out there, knocking them down one after another. This defense is trying to stay connected to him, but he is on a mission. Pass to market. Utah moving the ball around. Just five on the clock. George for three. The Warriors pull it in. Second half here and we’re just over three and a half minutes into it. Nice one-handed jam there, Ba. Hey, little exclamation point and Markin with the stuff. And offensively, Markin is in the zone. He’s using his size well and the defense hasn’t had an answer. Now here’s Curry. He’s got 25. Wow. Curry takes the hit and finishes inside. And just totally relentless, only increasing the intensity level. Yeah, he can taste a win right now. He’s just trying to close it out. And a bit of a battle for the ball. And the officials signal a jump ball here. Nabbing another steal. And that’s his sixth steal of the night. Imposing his will at the defensive end. You got to love it. Pajimsky shot is good. And a breakdown here, guys, of the hustle stats for the Warriors. Yeah, they’ve collected an impressive number of steals so far using fast hands to force some turnovers and then scoring on the other end. And the relentless pace has really taken a toll on the opposition. Here’s George. Uses the glass on the layup. George has got nine and just musling it in. George very aggressive. Left side. Curry steps back and fires. And there’s another one for the Warriors. He’s been carrying the load on offense in this one. And he might as well keep looking for his shot the way he’s been going. George passes to Markin. Markinan using his size inside. Being Markin is 7T tall. He’s absolutely an inside threat. I just love watching him capitalize from this area. Here’s Curry. Rebounded by the Jazz. Kesler’s got six rebounds here tonight. Pass to Bailey. Tipped. outside. Moody. Green. A screen. Moody passes to Green. Oh, Kesler with the block. They retain possession. Plenty of daylight on that shot. Curry’s got 32 points in the game. Their strategy has been pretty simple here in the second half. Attack from three-point range. Well, they certainly have the shooters to do it. It’s just about finding that rhythm. Now here’s Kesler. 13 points in the game. Shot clock at six. Marketed from long range. The Warriors pull it in. Curry’s got his fourth rebound in this one. Outside Moody. Back to Curry. Right side. Butler. Moody from outside. Rebounded by Bailey. Jazz trail by 16. and slammed it home and a foul. A chance at another point at the line. That one on Kesler and baskets like this get Green fired up. When you get physical with him, he takes it personally. All right, the Jazz making a change here. Philip’s checked in. Heels checked in for the Warriors. And that one misses. Tim, you got into the NBA media very quickly after your playing days. Were you naturally drawn to this side of the game? Well, BA, I think I always saw the game as a coach would trying to watch all 10 players at the same time. So for me, the ability to stay connected to the game while also talking about it and hopefully teaching people really is what’s drawn me to it from the beginning. And no suffering the L from the broadcast table. That’s for sure. You don’t have to have any sleepless nights. Kesler with a bucket. Everybody appreciates that extra effort on the glass. Pass to Green. And here’s Curry. Green. The pass to Butler. Come get it. Come get it. Good. And again, no good by Golden State. And you see the frustration on his face. He had a great opportunity there and he blew it. Here’s Kier. Pass to Bailey. Now here’s Kesler. Utah moving the ball around down low and stolen by Green. Here’s Butler and it’s Butler with the jam. A fearless finish from a fearless player. Jimmy making some noise. Here’s Collier. George outside. Kilapowski sets a screen. George passes to Bailey. Six to shoot. Curry with a steal and he drops it in from the low post. Curry’s got 34. Can’t lose sight of Curry on the break. That’s when he strikes. He has fantastic awareness. Inside. Here’s Philippowski. It’s rebounded by Jimmy Butler. The Warriors lead by 20. Green. the pass to Curry and that one’s good and Green with the assist. Green’s got four assists in the game. Here’s Collier. Pass to Philippowski here, baby. You Nerkach. He’s checked in for Kesler. Hendrickx comes in for Bailey and Williams is subbed in for George. The Warriors lead by 23. Yo, match up on the screen. Outside heel. Here’s the three. Rebounded by Nerkach. It’s just not his night from the three. But this is exactly why you can’t live and die by that shot. And you watch Buddy Heel. Tim, a 6-4 sharp shooting guard. some similarities to your game. Well, he gets those threes up at a rate I could only dream about back when I played BA. The green light that shooters play with these days. I tell you what, it must be nice. Counted from distance. The fine from Buddy Heel. I’d like to see him do that more. Spread the ball around. Nerk a screen on Curry looking to win the run and it’s laid in by Nerkach. Nerk has got six. Yeah, I love that. He comes off the pick and takes it right to the hole. Williams against heel outside. Kaminga. Four on the clock. Back to Heel. Takes a three. Utah grabs the miss. He didn’t make them pay for that weak defense, but they just can’t rely on him to miss those kind of shots. Pass to Nerkach. Here’s Hrix. He’s watched by Kuminga. Oh, there’s the Alli. Hammers the lob through. What a perfect pass to set that up. Hey, the feed might have been pretty, but the finish that was angry. 52 seconds left in the third quarter. The three from Curry fires in the triple. Curry’s got 43 points. Yeah, the sweet looking jumper of Steph. It just looks so pure coming out of his hands. Pass to Williams. Now here’s Nerkach guarded by Post. Here’s Hrix. Launches a three. Sinks it from distance. And both teams running long range plays that are working. Yeah, just going back and forth. It is really competitive out there. Now here’s heel. Now here’s Post from outside the ark. Gets rebounded by Hrix. Pass to Collier to the middle. Here’s Philippowski. No good with a layup. Ah, and you see the bench react as that layup doesn’t drop. That’s not exactly what they were expecting. And three quarters of play in the books. This one’s all but over already. Warriors ahead just dominating this one. And coming up as soon as we return from break, the fourth quarter gets underway. And a moment now as we take a look at our State Farm assist of the game. And the winner today coming from an unlikely position. It’s the big fella with the sweetest pass of the day. Yeah, right there. He wasn’t a ball stopper. He kept his eyes up and his options open. And we reach the fourth quarter in a game that may already be out of hand. We’ve got Filipowski also Ysef Nerkach out there. Lorie Markin out there with Williams. That’s the five on the floor for the Jazz. Utah moving the ball around. Down to five on the shot clock. The Jazz need to get one up in a hurry. Hey, from beyond the ark. Rebounded by Butler. The Warriors shooting at around 60% in this one. Very efficient. to the inside and stolen by Markin. Williams on the wing. He’s watched by Kuminga. It’s stolen by Kuminga in transition. Here they come. Perfect pass to set up the layin. I just love how he runs the floor with energy and intensity, but still stays under control. In this league, you run whenever you can. It’s so much easier to score in transition. Now here’s Markin outside Williams. Markin sets a screen. Five on the clock. Williams passes to Markin. No good with the triple. Pass to Butler. Now here’s Jackson Davis. Heel for three. Utah grabs the miss. Philippowski’s got four rebounds now to the paint. Buries it down low. What a great pass. It was on time and on target. And it’s the Warriors with the ball. A great fourth quarter. Just give it up two points outside. Butler. Rebounded by Nerkach. Nerk has got five rebounds in the game. Pass to market in now Nerkach guarded by Post. Nerk just a screen on Kaminga. Here’s Williams. They get the rebound. Doesn’t go for him. The Warriors have gotten just one shot to fall out of three attempts in the fourth. Nice shot by Kaminga. Like a matador. Olay. There was no defense. That has to be one of the easier shots I’ve seen tonight. And they are just breaking the will of their opponent. Here’s Philippowski. Nice assist and nice finish. Solid play. Just about three minutes through the fourth and final quarter here. So, it’ll be two free throws. He was fouled in the act of shooting. No debate there. He He got hammered. Shooting two. That one’s off. And he sinks the second. We’re in the final quarter play here. Three minutes in. Marking it outside. Pass to Kesler. Utah moving the ball around. Shot clock at five. It’s tipped yet stolen by Heel. Now Curry. And here’s Post. He’s covered by Kesler. Butler with the ball working on Filiposki 11 ft out and again it’s the Warriors missing. The Jazz have gone two of five from the field in this final quarter. Back to Markin and Markinan with the stuff doing what he can to help shrink the deficit but it has to be a team effort. Outside Curry from 12 ft. Basket’s good. Curry’s got 45 points. Yeah, and mid-range Jays are no problem for Curry. Defenders can forget about his confidence from there, too. Here’s Markin and he converts the layup. And that is a high quality shot. You will take it every time from that close. Heel against Williams. The three and there’s Curry on the assist by Heield. Curry’s got five points now this quarter. More than just a score. He moves the ball well, especially when his guys are open. Just five to shoot. Pass to Williams. Hey, puts up a three. Jimmy Butler with a rebound. Butler’s got four rebounds now. Jimmy. And here’s Post. Here’s Butler. Williams defending with the fadeaway. And again, it’s Golden State. There’s not much you can do to slow down Butler in the mid-range. He just Golden State has gone one of two from deep in this quarter. He’ll ball. Jackson Davis a screen and he jams it home with authority. You know, he’s smaller for the center position by NBA standards, but his leaping ability more than makes up for his lack of height. Now, here’s Kesler. Here’s Collier. Back to Kesler. Utah moving the ball around. Six on the shot clock. Here’s Bailey. Now Kesler pass to Collier. Markin sets a screen. It’s Markin on the way. The Warriors have gotten six of 12 shots to go here in this fourth quarter. Now here’s post. He’s covered by Kesler. Kuminga down low. Shoots over Bailey. Kuminga shot is off. And for the Jazz, they’re shooting the rock at 58%. Here’s Collier. George outside. Puts it up from the high post. The Warriors pull it in. Here’s Santos. Goes up and lays it in nice and easy. Now George fires for three. It falls. Five for 11 in the game. And there’s a nice rhythm to his three-point shot. You know, George has a confident stroke. Pass to Santos. Back to heel. Five to shoot. Lets the three fly. That one no good. And he probably thought he was going to bury that one. George finds Markin and that’s a foul called on Clinton Post. That’s foul number two for him. Get over pass to Collier. Get stolen by Heel. Here’s Santos. Clock at six. Back to heel. Utah grabs the miss. Collier’s got five rebounds tonight. Down low. Here’s Bailey. Pass to Collier. Inside. Ball stolen. Now, an update on Jimmy Butler’s injury. Let’s go to Ally Leforce. Hi guys. He’s the head athletic trainer for the Warriors provided some info for us. He let me know that it’s a strained hip which causes plenty of soreness and shooting pain in that area. Normally, this is an injury that would take a while to recover from, but they’re saying he may be able to play on it. We’ll be monitoring the situation and keep you updated. All right, Ally, thanks for the intel. Uh, unfortunately, that’s not the news fans were hoping for. Definitely not. Seems like he’s got a long, tough road ahead of him. Well, you hate to see that. Let’s hope the prognosis isn’t as bad as it looks right now. And he drops the first Cold shots good from the strike. Utah has gone just one of six from downtown in this final quarter. And you can see how scary this team can be when everything is clicking for them. Just a terrific performance for the Warriors. And it was a big time performance across the board. They looked like they were having fun out there, Grant. Yeah, BA. It was almost like watching a cat play with a mouse. I mean, they did pretty much anything they wanted to do out there today. And as it was happening, as it was building, you knew this was a monster game for Stephen Curry. Yeah, he was just laser focused in that game. It got to the point where you just knew if he shot it, it was going in. The first one falls and there’s no question George can fill it up. For him, it’s about focusing on shooting good percentages. Post has checked in for the Warriors. He does not get the second one. Well, I’m sure he wanted to hit all of them, but he was still able to chip away a little bit more at this lead. Pass to heel. And the officials will call the illegal screen here. You can get away with one once in a while, but it looked like he wasn’t completely set on that pick. Well, often times illegal screens fall into a gray area, but that time he got called for it. 46 seconds left in the fourth quarter. Yep. Count it. And the advantage he has is clear. Just taking what the defense gives him right there. Here’s Golden State. to the paint. He shoots it. Oh, and there’s a one-hand jam. And they came in here with some attitude and it brought out their best play. Winning away from home takes nerve and great discipline. Kudos to them. Now, here’s Kesler. 6sec difference between the shot clock and game clock. Markin for three. It doesn’t go for him. And here’s healed. And so Golden State takes this one. And by a big margin, this one wasn’t even Is it fair to say this feels like it should be a blowout? Well, on paper, that would be the assumption. But BA, this is why we play the games. Anything can happen and any team can pull off an upset. All right, checking out Golden State’s opening lineup. down low to be the tenacious pair of Butler and Draymond. Curry and Pods pairing up in the back court and it’s Moody in at the three spot. Five on the clock. Here’s Bailey and it’s good. With time running down on the shot clock and even if he doesn’t have the wider frame some guys do, Baileyy’s not going to let contact keep him from finishing. Whoa. Slamming it home on the taller defender. What swag. And keeping us updated from the sideline, Ally Leforce. Will Hardy gave me a few minutes to catch up with him. We discussed their matchup against Stephen Curry. And coach told me, “We have to be active. We have to be intense. We need to deny him the ball and smother him when he does have it. We have to take away his breathing room.” Well, we know what happens when you give Curry room to operate, guys. Back to you. Appreciate the report, Ally. First quarter, just over a minute played. Here’s Collier. Pass to Markin and Markin with the stuff. And this is inexcusable. The defense must force Markin further away from the rim. Curry passes to Butler. Green with a screen on Marin inside outside. Moody now. Here’s Butler. Down to five on the shot clock. Green with a screen on Markin. A shot by Butler. No good for Utah. They’ve gone two of three from the floor. Out to the right wing. Kesler finds George. Kesler. A screen on Curry. Back to Kesler. It’s tipped. Here’s Green. Soft touch off the glass. Green’s got his second basket of the game. We know Green prefers to work up close. He loves getting those high percentage looks. Pass to Kesler. Here’s Collier. And here’s Markin over Butler. Markin misses. Well, Larry Markin comes from a family full of athletes. Oh, yes indeed. BA Lor’s mom and dad were both pro basketball players and so was one of his brothers and his other brother is a professional soccer player. So it definitely runs in the family. Knocks down the triple. Markin’s got five now. And I want to see Markin continue to shoot from deep because he’s a quality sniper with impressive range. Right side Curry pass to Pajimsky. Green with a screen on George. Four on the clock from downtown. It’s held in by Collier. Surprising to see him miss here, but they’ll be happy with that shot in most possessions. And stolen by Green and the Warriors pushing it up now. Moody from outside. It’s hauled in by Collier. Utah leading by three. Pass to George. Just over three and a half minutes gone here in the first. Now here’s Kesler. Oh, got a piece of it and he slams it in one-handed. What a two-way play. Just tremendous. Yeah, the steel was slick. The slam topped it off. What a great sequence. You got to love the effort. That’s big time. Pass to Marin. Stay on it. George outside and here’s Kesler. Green covering and it goes out of regret defending him so loosely. So loosely. Here’s Collier. Pass to Bailey. And here’s Markin. Here’s Bailey. Moody defends. Nice D from Moody. The Warriors leading. Now Curry, five points in the game despite the miss. Those are the kind of looks coaches hope to create. Here’s Collier. Pass to Bailey. Now here’s Kesler defended by Pajki and finished off by Kesler. Come on now, guys. That’s flat out insane. Hey, when’s the last time you saw a jam like that? And Curry’s got the ball here for the Warriors. And Steve Cerr wants a timeout. He’s going to take a moment to give him a breather and talk things over. And Grant, when it comes to pure shot making ability, scouts love Ace Bailey’s natural tools. Yeah, when he’s taking good shots, he can carry the offense. needs to get a little stronger and clean up a few things, but his upside as a pass to Kaminga and it’s blocked by Kesler. The Jazz have got eight out of 12 shots to fall. Here’s Collier guarded by Heel. Now here’s Kesler. Six on the shot clock. Down low. Deflects the pass. He’s got a clear path and the basket is good. And the Warriors lead by two. Utah’s gone one to two from three-point land so far. Here’s Collier. No made baskets yet. Pass to Kesler. Six to shoot. Here’s Philippowski for three. Collier. The rebound by Post. 156 left to play in the first. Lets it fly. The rebound by the Jazz. Well, that’s a tough matchup for the offense there. It’s a low probability on that shot. And let’s send it over to Alli Leforce. Thank you. The Utah Jazz are going young, but this is a franchise that has a winning history, and that culture is still around. Coach Will Hardy said the messaging doesn’t change. The players have bought to the little things that takes to win. This is a cohesive group that’s committed to helping each other. Back to you. Building the right way. Thanks a lot, Ally. Utah shooting their first foul shot of the game. Jimmy Butler’s checked in for the Warriors. One shot. and that one falls. That puts them up one point in the game now. And for the Warriors, they’re shooting a solid 50% in the opening quarter. Outside heel. Screen by Post. Clock at six. To the middle. Count it. One for one to start the game. They’re punishing those late defensive rotations. Getting good looks inside throughout the half. Pass to Williams to the paint from seven ft. And there’s Kesler on the assist from Williams. Kesler’s got seven. Good heads up basketball. Sees an opening and capitalizes. And here’s he back to Butler. Count it. Two for four from the field. How talented is Butler? I mean, just so adept at carving out some space inside and converting. Pass to Williams. 17 seconds left to play in the first. Utah moving the ball around. But he’s got to focus on the next one. Draymond Green has been on display for Golden State. He had the ball handlers off balance all quarter and came up with a bunch of steals. All right, stick around. We’ll be right back after this. And if you’re just joining us, it’s been a pretty even game through the first quarter. And what do you guys think about the Warriors here in this one? Well, they’ve used the fast break well to score easy points and keep the defense unsettled. Everybody in this league wants to run, but not everybody has the personnel to do it. This is a great start. Yousef Nerkach is out there with Philippowski. Then it’s Williams and it’s Hendrickx and at the three, the small forward. That’s the group for Utah getting going in the second. Nerk shot is good. Yeah, in the paint, Nerkach can be a monster. He’s got all the physical gifts he needs to dominate. It Butler against Williams. Pass the post. Now here’s Jackson Davis. Healed for three. Rebounded by Nerkach. And this is exactly who you want taking that shot. He just missed it inside. Ooh, good finish at the rack off a slick feed. Now it’s a three-point Jazz lead. And that’s exactly the type of pass we expect from a guy with his vision. Heel passes to Butler and Butler inside. This is why they will go to him often. He’s going to take and make shots. Second quarter here. Just over a minute and a half played. Three-pointer. Connect from downtown. And the Jazz lead by four. And that’s on the defense giving him a decent look. That’s his shot. Butler unpased. I wouldn’t say Butler seeks contact, but he sure doesn’t turn it down. Down low and he dumps it. What a pass to set him up. His day time on the rim puts a sweet cherry on top. Ba, it’s a close game and those displays of explosiveness can jumpst start a team. Scream by post. Heield for three. He drops it from range. He’s got his first bucket of the game and he’s on the board for three. Pass to Nerkach. Here’s Hendrickx. Now Williams. Hey, expanding his range. That one is off. The Warriors have gotten three or four field goals in the second quarter. Butler. Oh, look at Butler. Focused as always. And the chess match continues. Seven lead changes already and we’re still in the first half. And so Will Hardy calls the timeout. Coach probably just checking to make sure everybody’s on the same page here. And it’s Utah with the ball. They trail by one. Pass to Nerkitz. Tipped and it’s out of bounds. Still Utah’s ball. And the Warriors making a change here. Green is checked in. And in the second quarter, a little under three and 1/2 minutes played already. Here’s George. Just four to shoot. Marketing for three. Excellent D there from Kuminga. The Warriors have gone a terrific four of five here in the second quarter. Butler finds Kuminga. Oh, Kaminga, just a menace inside. And it sure seems like postplay has evolved quite a bit over the past decade or two. Yeah, it really has. I mean, there aren’t many big men who operate only on the low block anymore. But if they do, they’re considered throwbacks. George outside. It’s stolen by Kuminga. Pass to Butler. Oh, the lead pass was in the perfect spot to set up the layup. And now a five-point Warrior lead. Yeah, great move by Butler setting the pick then getting the score. Nerk passes to George. And here’s Philipski. Utah moving the ball around. Just five to shoot. A deep three. Utah with another miss. And here are the Warriors now. They’re on a 13-5 run. Pass to Green now. Healed from behind the arc. Rebounded by Nerkage. Jazz trail by five. Here’s Bailey. He has six. George outside to the inside. Here’s Markinan and Markinan with the stuff. Oh, what ferocity on the throw down. I just love when he goes up with purpose. Where was the D right there? The effort lacking big time. Well, defensively, you can’t allow that in a game this close. Curry no good. The Jazz have got five of seven shots to fall in the second. Pass to Nerkits. Here’s Bailey. Green covering Bailey. The pass to George. Oh, deflected. Curry with a steal. Here’s Kuminga. Oh, Kuminga putting on a show out here. Using his superb court vision, Green is able to routinely find his open teammate. And so, Will Hardy calls a timeout. We might see him looking to make some tweaks to the strategy. Oh my. They’re coached. I got yours. Here’s Collier. No points yet. Pass to Kesler. Here’s Collier. Kesler. A screen to the middle. Deflects the pass. Banked it in off the glass. And I like the fact they didn’t settle there. They worked for a higher percentage shot. Outside Green outside Curry. Oh, Curry stretching the limits. Wow, what a shot. Look at how solid Curry’s motion is. Almost like he could have done that blindfolded. Here’s Collier. Kesler. First screen on Curry. Four on the clock and finished off by Kesler. I just love the aggressive finish. I’m thinking he’s sending a strong message with that jam outside. Moody pass to Butler. Oo, now seven for nine after that make. Woo. just selling the defense on the pump fake. Jazz trail by six. Here’s Collier. He’s scoreless. To the paint. And here comes the break. Here’s Moody. Oh, plenty of contact on that shot. Officials call the foul and he’ll take two free throws now. First trip to the free throw line for him in this one. First free throw is good. Well, legs, when we talk about current players, who are the guys you want taking the shot with the game on the line right now? Well, certainly the tried andrue like Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant. You can’t go wrong there. Or a multi-time MVP in Nicola Joic. Posts checked in for the Warriors. That one misses. So he goes one for two. Jazz trail by seven. Bailey the pass to George and that one drops. Just a gutsy play by George inside finding the close-range look. Outside Green outside Curry for three. Curry splashes it in. The defense really fell apart there. You can’t afford to leave them all alone at the ark. Utah’s gone one of four from three-point land here in the second. Kesler down low. He’s against post. Here’s the break. Pass to Moody outside Green and he can’t extend the lead to double digits. The Jazz have gone eight of 11 in the second quarter. Oh, and Mark and finishes the big man from Finland. Lowry getting up. The Warriors lead by six. And here’s Curry. 11 points in the game. Ooh, power down with both hands. And you can’t leave the basket unprotected. Bad things will happen to you. Yeah, that was just way too easy. And now this offense feels like they can just do whatever they want. And so Will Hardy calls the timeout. A moment to rest and confer on the game plan. Eight-point game. Back to George. to the middle. Picked it out of midair. Oh, and a fast break for the Warriors. Moody passes to Green. Some solid defense from Marketing. That’s going up against a defense that knows your tendencies to the wing on the left. Here’s Collier. No points so far. Five to shoot. Here’s Bailey. Pajimsky grabs the board. The Warriors lead by eight. High post. Green. Markin’s there outside. Moody pass to Curry. Had a hand on it. Oh, great D by the rookie Bailey making an impact. Collier no good. Yeah, he probably shouldn’t have taken that shot there. The defensive intensity was all over. Curry passes to Moody to the inside. Here’s Green. It’s hauled in by Collier. Collier’s got four rebounds now. The shot from the low post is good. Yeah, he found some room there along the baseline. Some space at the rim. Goes right up and puts it in without resistance. Pass the post. Now here’s Curry. Lets it go from deep. Buries it from three. Curry’s got nine points now in the quarter. Well guys, I’m happy I’m not guarding Steph right now. On nights like tonight, Curry can do no wrong. Here’s Collier. He’s covered by Curry. Back to George. Fires the three. Gets the three to fall. George has got seven. Yeah, everybody will remember the bucket. But how about that pass to set it up? Curry looking it over. Curry creates inside. I love the shot selection from him right and it’s the Warriors with the ball on the floor for the Warriors. Curry and Pods pairing up in the back court down low. It’ll be the tenacious pair of Butler and Draymond. And it’s Moody in at the three slot. Butler against Markin and clock at four. Here’s Tajimky off target. That would have pushed the lead to double digits. Pass to Bailey. The three is up. Hits a three-pointer. Baileyy’s got nine. And you know Bailey isn’t going to pass on those chances. He’s looking to make an impact on the ark. Outside Pajki. And here is Green outside. Curry three-pointer. And that one’s good. And Greening with the assist. Green’s got three assists now in this one. And with a little over a minute gone by, the second half is underway. Mark and misses. That’s how you stay connected to a shooter. Was right in his jersey. George right side pass to Collier Markin with a screen on Curry. Here’s Bailey and stolen by Green. Gives us a chance to catch up with Alli Leforce. Thank you, Brian. Stephen Curry is nearing the finish line. He said, “Every year there’s some new style, new energy coming through that challenges you and seeing these young dudes come up and understanding how much talent there is. This is not going to be around forever, so enjoy every moment of it. Brian, back to you. Thanks a lot, Ally. Here’s Collier. Pass to Kesler over to the left wing. That’s good from Collier on the assist by Markin. Every coach in this league loves assisted baskets. It indicates your offense is flowing the way it’s supposed to. Now here’s Butler outside. Curry from deep. Oh, that’s his eighth make of the game. He’s only missed four so far. Not sure there’s such a thing as a bad three for Steph. And so Will Hardy calls a timeout. And we might see some changes. Coach potentially looking to adjust. A touch over 2 and 1/2 minutes of basketball played here in the third quarter and finished off by Kesler. I would imagine it’s nearly impossible to not get fired up after that play. Grant, check these guys out on the bench. Their reaction says it all. They are fired up. Now here’s Butler. 14 points for him. Outside Curry. Fires from deep. Another three for Golden State. Just incredible. I mean, he’s really making it rain out there, knocking them down one after another. This defense is trying to stay connected to him, but he is on a mission. Pass to market. Utah moving the ball around. Just five on the clock. George for three. The Warriors pull it in. Second half here and we’re just over three and a half minutes into it. Nice one-handed jam there, BA. Hey, little exclamation point and Markinan with the stuff. And offensively, Markinan is in the zone. He’s using his size well and the defense hasn’t had an answer. Now here’s Curry. He’s got 25. Wow. Curry takes the hit and finishes inside and just totally relentless. Only increasing the intensity level. Yeah, he can taste a win right now. He’s just trying to close it out. And a bit of a battle for the ball. And the officials signal a jump ball here. nabbing another steal and that’s his sixth steal of the night. Imposing his will at the defensive end. You got to love it. But Jimky shot is good. And a breakdown here, guys, of the hustle stats for the Warriors. Yeah, they’ve collected an impressive number of steals so far using fast hands to force some turnovers and then scoring on the other end. And the relentless pace has really taken a toll on the opposition. Here’s George. Uses the glass on the layup. George has got nine and just musling it in. George very aggressive. Left side. Curry steps back and fires. And there’s another one for the Warriors. He’s been carrying the load on offense in this one. And he might as well keep looking for his shot the way he’s been going. George passes to Markin. Markin using his size inside. Being Markin is 7 ft tall, he’s absolutely an inside threat. I just love watching him capitalize from this area. Here’s Curry. Rebounded by the Jazz. Kesler’s got six rebounds here tonight. Pass to Bailey. Tipped outside. Moody. Green a screen. Moody passes to Green. Oh, Kesler with the block. They retain possession. Plenty of daylight on that shot. Curry’s got 32 points in the game. Their strategy has been pretty simple here in the second half. Attack from three-point range. Well, they certainly have the shooters to do it. It’s just about finding that rhythm. Now, here’s Kesler. 13 points in the game. Shot clock at six. Markin it from long range. The Warriors pull it in. Curry’s got his fourth rebound in this one. Outside Moody. Back to Curry. Right side. Butler. Moody from outside. Rebounded by Bailey. Jazz trail by 16. and slammed it home and a foul. A chance at another point at the line. That one on Kesler and baskets like this get Green fired up. When you get physical with him, he takes it personally. All right, the Jazz making a change here. Philippowski’s checked in. Heels checked in for the Warriors. And that one misses. Tim, you got into the NBA media very quickly after your playing days. Were you naturally drawn to this side of the game? Well, BA, I think I always saw the game as a coach would trying to watch all 10 players at the same time. So for me, the ability to stay connected to the game while also talking about it and hopefully teaching people really is what’s drawn me to it from the beginning. And no suffering the L from the broadcast table. That’s for sure. You don’t have to have any sleepless nights. Kler with a bucket. Everybody appreciates that extra effort on the glass. Pass to Green. And here’s Curry. Where are you? Green. The pass to Butler. Come get it. Come get it. Good. Good. And again, no good by Golden State. And you see the frustration on his face. He had a great opportunity there and he blew it. Here’s Kier. Pass to Bailey. Now here’s Kesler. Utah moving the ball around down low and stolen by Green. Here’s Butler and it’s Butler with the jam. A fearless finish from a fearless player. Jimmy making some noise. Here’s Collier. George outside. Kilapowski sets a screen. George passes to Bailey. Six to shoot. Curry with a steal and he drops it in from the low post. Curry’s got 34. Can’t lose sight of Curry on the break. That’s when he strikes. He has fantastic awareness. Inside. Here’s Philippowski. It’s rebounded by Jimmy Butler. The Warriors lead by 20. Green. And the pass to Curry and that one’s good. And Green with the assist. Green’s got four assists in the game. Here’s Collier. Pass to Filipowski here, baby. Ysef Nerkage. He’s checked in for Kesler. Hrix comes in for Bailey and Williams is subbed in for George. The Warriors lead by 23. Watch the screen. Outside heel. Here’s the three. Rebounded by Nerkach. It’s just not his night from the three. But this is exactly why you can’t live and die by that shot. And you watch Buddy Heel. Tim, a 6’4 sharp shooting guard. Some similarities to your game. Well, he gets those threes up at a rate I could only dream about back when I played BA. The green light that shooters play with these days. I tell you what, it must be nice. Counted from distance. The find from Buddy Heel. I’d like to see him do that more. Spread the ball around. Nerkish. A screen on Curry looking to win the run. And it’s laid in by Nerkach. Nerkach has got six. Yeah, I love that. He comes off the pick and takes it right to the hole. Williams against heel outside. Kaminga. Four on the clock. Back to Heel. Takes a three. Utah grabs the miss. He didn’t make them pay for that weak defense, but they just can’t rely on him to miss those kind of shots. Pass to Nerkach. Makes up for his lack of height. Now here’s Kesler. Here’s Collier. Back to Kesler. Utah moving the ball around. Six on the shot clock. George for three. Warriors with the rebound. Here’s Santos. Pass to heel. Screen by Post. Launches it and it’s healed. Missing. The Jazz have got five out of 10 shots to drop here in the final quarter. Here’s Bailey. Now Kesler pass to Collier. Markin sets a screen. It’s Mark and on the wing. Here’s George. The three. The rebound by Post right side. Kuminga shoots over Kier out to Heel. The three ball. Utah with the rebound. Kesler’s got doubledigit rebounds now in the game. Here’s Collier. Mark it in with a screen on heels. Puts it up. Shots good by Collier. The Warriors have gotten six of 12 shots to go here in this fourth quarter. Now here’s Post. He’s covered by Kesler. Kuminga down low. Shoots over Bailey. Dominguez shot is off. And for the Jazz, they’re shooting the rock at 58%. Here’s Collier. George outside. Puts it up from the high post. The Warriors pull it in. Here’s Santos. Goes up and lays it in nice and easy. Now George fires for three. It falls. Five for 11 in the game. And there’s a nice rhythm to his three-point shot. You know, George has a confident stroke. Pass to Santos. Back to heel. Five to shoot. lets a three fly. That one no good and he probably thought he was going to bury that one. George finds Markin and that’s a foul called on Clinton Post. That’s foul number two for him. Come on. Get over pass to Collier. Get stolen by Heel. Here’s Santos. Clock at six. Back to heel. Utah grabs the miss. Collier’s got five rebounds tonight. Down low. Here’s Bailey. Pass to Collier. Inside. Ball stolen. Now, an update on Jimmy Butler’s injury. Let’s go to Ally Leforce. Hi guys. is the head athletic trainer for
