Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
Steve Kerr on if it’s possible Draymond Green will be ready for the next game:
“There’s optimism… We’ll see if he clears protocols tomorrow, and we’re hopeful, but we don’t know yet.” – 12:00 AM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Andre Iguodala said his technical was rooted in a misinterpretation by the refs.
“Hopefully I’ll talk to someone in the league and get some of that fine money back,” Iguodala said. “I’m on that ASAP.” – 12:00 AM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
Carry over from 2021—Rudy being a beast.

Warriors are 9-5 against teams currently with winning records, four coming on the road. And GSW has beaten every team it’s lost to, save for DEN
The current winning teams the Warriors have yet to play: MIL, MIA, WAS
Still gotta see CHI, MEM, DEN on the road – 11:52 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

The Warriors beat a fully healthy Jazz team in Utah 123-116 without Draymond Green. Exactly a week ago they beat a fully healthy Suns team in Phoenix without Wiggins and Poole.
Pretty astounding they’re doing this all without Klay Thompson. – 11:45 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Warriors on Christmas: beat the Suns in Phoenix
On New Year’s Day: beat the Jazz in Utah – without Draymond Green. 123-116
– Curry 28p, Wiggins 25, Porter 20 – 11:33 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
FINAL: Warriors 123, Jazz 116. Golden State absolutely tears it up on both ends down the stretch — 13-18 FGs in 4Q compared to 10-24 for Utah. Six-game winning streak over. 20p apiece for Bogey, Don and Mike, the latter two on a combined 8-32 FGs. 20/19 for Rudy. 28/9 for Steph. – 11:32 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Warriors win 123-116.
Steph: 28 points, 9 ast, 6 rebs. Warriors overall shot 17-32 from 3.
Bogdanovic, Mitchell, and Gobert all had 20 points. Gobert also had 19 rebs and was a +10. Mitchell had 9 assists.
Really good, interesting, revealing game. @NO next on Monday. – 11:32 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz fall to the Warriors 123-116….Utah falls to 26-10 on the season. The Jazz fall to 14-7 at home. A six game streak is snapped. Great game. A long road trip awaits. On to New Orleans and the Pelicans on Monday night – 11:32 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
FINAL: Warriors escape with a 123-116 win over the Jazz. Quite the turnaround from Golden State, which was on the brink of a total meltdown after that rough third quarter. – 11:31 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

The Warriors won in Phoenix against a fully stocked Suns team on Christmas without Wiggins/Poole. They beat a fully stocked Jazz team tonight in Utah without Draymond Green. Record: 28-7. Klay Thompson’s return is “very close.” – 11:31 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors
DUBS WIN pic.twitter.com/66utqnorL3 – 11:31 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
I believe this delay of game on Donovan Mitchell is because in trying to deny Curry he ran out of bounds and got into Iguodala’s passing lane. – 11:30 PM Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
I know the refs got a tough job, but a delay of game call in a late close game for Jazz versus Warriors? – 11:30 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Curry’s shooting percentage is going to belie how well he played tonight. He broke every Jazz run with a big shot. He obviously made the back breaker. He was ridiculously good tonight – 11:27 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Iguodala was 9-for-44 from 3 (20.4 percent) before making two big 3-pointers in the fourth-quarter in Utah – 11:26 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

That’s a great win for Golden State but I don’t feel like it’s a bad loss for Utah. Third game in four nights, fought back from the deficit. I’m not coming away from this thinking “wow Utah can’t hang with Golden State.” – 11:25 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Iggy for three and the Jazz trail the warriors 119-112…and that will do it….the warriors were simply incredible in the last five minutes and that proved the difference in the game….they knew what they wanted on every possession and they got it – 11:24 PM Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Even though Andre Iguodala has struggled to shoot the ball this year, he’s looked so much better being back with Golden State than he did in Miami. – 11:24 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Andre Iguodala’s been great in some big road wins this season. At Lakers on opening night, in Boston a couple weeks ago, in Utah tonight: 12-7-8 and a +12 in 23 minutes, just hit the wing 3 over a sagging Gobert to ice it. – 11:24 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Rudy makes the business decision not to fully close out on Iggy at the 3P line, and Iggy buries it to make him pay. 119-112 Warriors, 38.8 to go. Barring some Reggie Miller stuff, that should probably do it. – 11:24 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Iguodala makes 3 on the next possession — he’s shooting 21% from deep this year. Warriors up 7 with 38 seconds left. – 11:23 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Golden State has an absurd 38 AST on 45 FGs. – 11:23 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Warriors lead 116-112 and will have the ball with 58.7 seconds left. Jazz just haven’t been able to put enough stops and made shots together down the stretch. – 11:22 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
58.7 seconds remaining: the Jazz trail the Warriors 116-112 – 11:21 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Warriors lead 116-112 with 58 seconds left — Warriors ball. – 11:21 PM John Schuhmann @johnschuhmann
Funny thing about the Jazz: They have 2 guys who finished top 3 in 6th man voting last season, but they almost always close games w/ their starters.
Utah is in the middle of the pack in clutch games played, but the starting lineup leads the league in clutch minutes. – 11:19 PM Chris Herring @Herring_NBA
Curry is a bad man – 11:19 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Terrible sequences by Wiggins: turnover, forced shot, gamble in transition – 11:19 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Unreal shot by Curry – 11:19 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Going from Spurs-Pistons tonight to Warriors-Jazz is a borderline spiritual experience – 11:17 PM Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBS
Where would the Warriors be in the West standings if they hadn’t traded D’Angelo Russell for Andrew Wiggins and the Kuminga pick? Assume the rest of the roster is the same, they just have Russell. – 11:16 PM Brad Botkin @bradbotkincbs
Otto Porter shoulder nudging his man, just enough, going left for the fadeaway 12 footer is beautiful – 11:15 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Timeout, Utah, as Warriors go on 13-5 run to take 111-106 lead. – 11:15 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Jazz individual defense getting hurt by Porter and Wiggins down the stretch. They’ve beaten Ingles and Bogdanovic. – 11:15 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The warriors are making every play on both ends of the court they need to. They are up by five and the Jazz need timeout – 11:15 PM Tim Bontemps @TimBontemps
Been some really fun endings today, and Warriors-Jazz is going the same way. Some big time plays at both ends, but especially by Golden State here in the fourth to rebuild this lead. – 11:15 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
We’re seeing that, even with Draymond Green out, this Warriors team can’t be counted out. Suddenly, they’re up 111-106 with 3:49 left. – 11:15 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Mike Conley about to check in. Jazz need his defense in a big way. – 11:14 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Conley’s only at 24 minutes… Royce lost Steph on that cut leading to the easy layup. You just need Conley for his screen navigation – 11:13 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Jazz are still in this right now cuz of their 2H O-rebounding. They’ve got 14 for the game and 25 2nd-chance points, as Don makes his third shot of the game. – 11:13 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Where’s Conley? – 11:12 PM Rob Perez @WorldWideWob
Jordan Clarkson quickly ascending to the divine stratosphere of J.R. Smith irrational confidence. I fully understand the magnitude of these words. He might be the one to pick up the flag. – 11:11 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
Jordan’s 47th game of 20 points or more off the bench since being traded to the Jazz on Christmas Eve 2019.
No one else has more than 30 such games in that time span.
#TakeNote | @Jordan Clarkson pic.twitter.com/aFKskxLROa – 11:10 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
I’m getting Kuminga back in there if I’m Kerr. – 11:09 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Okay, this is setting up to be a stellar finish. Jazz up 101-98, Warriors ball, 6:39 left. Big factors:
Looney has 5 fouls, can Jazz get him #6?
Mitchell’s 2-15 from the field, can he get going?
Can Jazz continue to limit Steph (5-14 FG)? – 11:09 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Warriors have been a great defensive rebounding team this year, but Jazz have destroyed them on the offensive glass in the 2nd half. 33% orebs for the game, 22 2nd chance points. – 11:08 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
6:39 remaining in this one. The Jazz lead the warriors 101-98….great game – 11:08 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Kuminga sits down and Clarkson immediately hits a 3 – 11:06 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

No communication on transition D, no one guards Kuminga, who gets a wide-open dunk. Related note: Rudy Gobert returns with 8:09 to play. – 11:05 PM Adam Lauridsen @GSWFastBreak
Poole as the Warriors’ sixth man is going to give the league some trouble. An offensive-focused bench player like the Ws haven’t had since the early years of the dynasty. – 11:04 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Donovan Mitchell is 2-14 in this game
His ability to get to the line has been monumental but the lid is absolutely on the rim. – 11:04 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Curry at 28 minutes. Imagine Kerr would love to bring him back at the 8-minute mark. But if he brought him back now with 9:48 left, he’d finish at 38 minutes. That’s a reasonable number given the extra day of rest after the Nuggets game was postponed – 11:01 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
This is Golden State’s best defensive lineup against the Jazz by far. Four switchable defensive wings that are 6-6 to 6-9 and super athletic. No coincidence that the Jazz have had issues the last two minutes running offense. Nowhere to gain an advantage – 11:01 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
The Jazz use of the Eurofoul is unquestionably the right move, but there are times when guys seem to rely on it too much and don’t play transition D when they can’t/don’t take it. – 11:00 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Joe does not do the multiple-pat Eurofoul, refs miss the contact, GSW ends the possession with a putback slam. Timeout Quin. 94-88 Jazz with 9:48to go. – 11:00 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Iggy is still an incredible athlete – 10:59 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
It appears Quin Snyder is matching Rudy Gobert’s minutes with Steph Curry’s. Normally Gobert is out there for a stint late 3rd early 4th. – 10:59 PM Josh Newman @Joshua_Newman
UPDATED: The Rose Bowl began feeling like a matter of survival in the third quarter. More specifically, surviving a number of factors, C.J. Stroud chief among them.

41 third quarter points for the Jazz. Most the Warriors have given up in a quarter this season. – 10:55 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
END OF Q3: Warriors trail the Jazz, 91-86. When Utah is knocking down 3’s, it’s really tough. Jazz has all the momentum, but Stephen Curry has a knack for turning it on when it matters most. – 10:55 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz take a 91-86 lead over the Warriors into the fourth quarter. Utah went 12 minutes with incredible defense and incredible shotmaking. The game flipped by 19 points as a result – 10:54 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
First “buckle up” call of the new year!

End 3Q: Jazz 91, Warriors 86. Incredible quarter for Utah, in which it outscored Golden State 41-22. Jazz made 14-24 shots, GSW just 7-19. – 10:54 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz up 91-86 after the 3Q. What a quarter from Utah, outscoring the Warriors 41-22.
Quin eschewing the middle minutes and just having Gobert play every Steph minute was huuuuge. Gobert was dominant in that quarter, even without a huge impact on the box score. – 10:54 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Bjelica seems to be allergic to making the obvious play. – 10:52 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen

With Gobert out and Gay at center, this is Golden State’s chance to get back into it, even with Curry out. – 10:50 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
And with 2:15 left 3Q, Rudy Gay is in for Rudy Gobert. Let’s see how this goes. – 10:48 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Steph out; Snyder mirrors by taking Gobert out – 10:48 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Feels like things are unraveling for the Warriors right now. Iguodala just got T’d up, and he went up to the ref and asked again and again, “What did I do?” – 10:41 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Wiggins/Porter cool off big time. 0-for-6, 0-2 FTs so far in third – 10:40 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
And now a tech on Iguodala. No idea what for. – 10:40 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Jazz score 28 points in first 7 minutes of Q3, move to 78-74 lead over Warriors. Whistles have been weird all night, but Utah now more patient on offense, finding holes in GSW D and making the open shots – 10:40 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
28-10 third quarter so far for Utah. Finally making 3s. Steve Kerr got a technical (and near ejection) after a no call on an Otto Porter hook. Kevon Looney upset after an illegal screen call. GP2 had to be pulled back from refs by Iguodala after timeout. Warriors frustrated. – 10:39 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
So much for that 16-point lead. Jazz have used a 28-8 run to seize a 78-74 lead with 5 minutes left in the third. – 10:38 PM Draymond Green @Money23Green
Living in a world, where someone can do something wrong and punish you for your reaction to their mistake. – 10:38 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
And now a Royce 3! Jazz up 78-74, timeout Kerr.
Kerr does the “my eyes on you” two fingers to G-Lg referee Brent Haskill going into the timeout. But honestly? I don’t think the whistles have been egregious. Warriors just aren’t swarming on D like they were in 1H. – 10:38 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
28-10 quarter for Utah – 10:38 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
An open 3 buried by Royce, some more words between Kerr and the refs, and the Viv comes alive with the Jazz up 78-74. They’ve outscored GSW 28-10 so far this quarter. 5 minutes yet to go in the third period. – 10:38 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba

Mitchell, after some really good games, now just 1-10 FG. – 10:33 PM Sarah Todd @NBASarah
Still thinking about that after the whistle shot that earned the Jazz a DoG warning. Other NBA peeps… you seen that before? – 10:33 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Jazz blew the Eurofoul there, then by the time Royce did commit a foul, it was too late. Not a great bit of transition defense. – 10:32 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

After 4-21 from 3 in the first half, Jazz are 3/3 in the 2nd half. They have 15 points in 3:25 on 7 possessions. – 10:29 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
That’s a 15-3 run for the Jazz, who are capitalizing on Mike Conley’s success getting by the point-of-attack defense, and the ensuing ball movement. Meanwhile, Warriors have gone a bit cold. 69-65 Warriors, 8:35 left 3Q. – 10:29 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Hell of a run by the Jazz to get back into this one. Got some stops defensively. Making shots now. But most importantly, for the first time tonight they look comfortable running their offense through. Warriors up 69-65…. – 10:28 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Much much much much better from Utah…. it’s a 15-3 run. Conley probing and dishing great, and then defensively they’re so much more connected than they were early. Jazz within 4 now. – 10:28 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

Warriors continue to come up with counters to teams denying and topsiding Steph. They get the Jazz with the blind pig here. More recognition needed from Gobert with 5 seconds left in the half, but he’s distracted by the initial pnr up top. pic.twitter.com/397VddJKxp – 10:09 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
HALFTIME: Warriors up 64-50 on the Jazz. Really nice first half from Golden State, which is shooting 53.1% from the field (10-for-21 from 3-point range) with 22 assists to just seven turnovers. And keep in mind, Draymond Green isn’t playing. – 10:08 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Halftime: Warriors 64, Jazz 50. GSW closes 2Q on a 13-4 run to blow the game open. Utah’s defense has been pretty lackluster all the way around. Entirely too many open looks for the Warriors, who are converting 53.1% overall and 10-21 from 3. Jazz at 36.4% and 4-21. – 10:08 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Otto Porter with a first half 16-5-5 stat line, plus two steals, starting in place of Draymond Green. Seventeen points for Andrew Wiggins. Warriors up 64-50 in Utah, holding the Jazz’s #1 ranked offense to 37% shooting without Draymond. – 10:07 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Warriors lead Jazz 64-50 at the half. 119 ORtg for GSW, 94 ORtg for Utah.
Wiggins has 17, Porter 16, Steph only 11, but the Jazz are just giving up wide open look after look. Meanwhile, on offense, Warriors have a 22-5 advantage in assists. – 10:07 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Jazz were momentarily within 5. The Looney hit an open J, Bogey missed, Porter hit an open 3, Royce missed, and now Wiggins hit a 3 with a late contest by Royce. 59-46 Warriors, with a FTA coming. – 10:01 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS

One thought, then we finish the gamer.
Can’t take away what this Utah team was. That group, what they did, and what they went through to get it done, is forever. Among the best teams in the history of the program.
Alright, let’s finish the gamer. – 9:59 PM Synergy Sports Tech @SynergySST

A) The Jazz aren’t playing well.
B) The Warriors are so good defensively. They don’t have Draymond and they’re just stifling the Jazz. They’re in position for everything; doubling Clarkson great move, point of attack D great. Steve Kerr is brilliant. – 9:49 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Jazz are just a step slow tonight — both physically and in their decision-making. Everything’s bogged down, and the Warriors’ excellent switching defense is only compounding the problem. Golden State leads 40-31 w/7:34 left 2Q. – 9:49 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
The Curry-Looney PNR – 9:48 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
It’s hard to actually run an offense against this warriors team because of how much they pressure and switch and help and recover. You just gotta go out there and beat your man to the rim. – 9:47 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops

END OF Q1: Warriors up 29-24 on the Jazz. Otto Porter Jr., Golden State’s starting PF with Draymond Green out, has been sensational. At his best, he’s an elite role player. Does so many things well. – 9:38 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
End 1Q: Warriors 29, Jazz 24. Utah’s pretty lucky to be this close, all things considered. Lots of shots coming up short (7-21 overall, 2-11 from 3), lots of turnovers (5), not great success with small-ball defense in general and zone specifically. 11p/5a for Otto. 8p for Don. – 9:38 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz down 29-24 after 1Q. So, Jazz are shooting an uncharacteristic 18% from three. But the defense has been highly disappointing, in both small and big lineups. – 9:37 PM Kurt Helin @basketballtalk
Watch Klay Thompson knock down 24 straight corner 3s nba.nbcsports.com/2022/01/01/wat… – 9:36 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Late in the first quarter, Otto Porter Jr. has 11 points on 5-for-6 shooting, 4 rebounds and 5 assists. That’s a season-high in assists for him, and his most in any quarter in his career. – 9:35 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Otto Porter Jr. already has 5 assists — the most he’s had in any quarter in his career. – 9:34 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Gary Payton II keeps hitting 3s as his role grows. He’s made at least one in eight of the past nine games, now 25-of-59 (42.3 percent) on the season. Just hit an open one from the corner, Warriors up 26-19 in Utah. – 9:31 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
This zone look is not really doing much for the Jazz. Warriors are getting a lot of open looks and starting to make them. GSW up to 11-21 FGs, 4-8 from 3, and lead 26-19 with 2:24 left 1Q. – 9:30 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen

Stephen Curry has made at least one 3-point basket in an NBA-record 158 consecutive games, eclipsing his previous NBA-best streak of 157 such games. – 9:27 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Donovan Mitchell has already had a couple of moments where it looks like he’s tweaked something.
First trying to block Gary Payton II shot early in the game, then after Curry slid under him on the three.
He’s had a lot of these moments this season and seems to walk them off. – 9:27 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Mitchell came down on Curry’s foot – who inadvertently slid into Don’s space – on that jumper for three…Jazz up 17-16…Mitchell walking it off – 9:26 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen

The Jazz are getting a little lucky on some of these Curry looks….his shot quality is probably a little high for Utah’s liking at this point – 9:20 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
So, the Jazz are just 2-8 FGs, just 1-5 from 3, and have 3 TOs in 5:18 of action. And they’re still up 10-9 thanks to 5-5 FTs, and the Warriors shooting 4-11/1-3/0-0. – 9:20 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
