Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Warriors plus-minus champ: Andrew Wiggins, +26. Efficient offense. Nasty defense, particularly during fourth-quarter comeback. – 11:05 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz in the 4th quarter: pic.twitter.com/HoyTCtQpVF – 11:05 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Warriors go on 24-4 run over final 7 minutes, close out mentally fragile Jazz for a 111-107 victory. Thompson with 36p (12 in the 4th), Poole with 31. Held Utah to 28.6pct FG in the 4th.
Snap 4gm losing streak, clinch playoff berth, win season series. – 11:01 PM Brad Townsend @townbrad
Bad news/good news for Mavs: Golden State rallies from 21 down to beat Utah and hold on to the No. 3 seed ahead of 4th place Dallas. But with the loss, Utah falls 2 games behind Mavs with 4 games left.
Was going to be mixed-emotions night for Dallas, regardless. – 11:01 PM Ryan Blackburn @NBABlackburn
If you’re upset about the Nuggets, take solace in the fact that you aren’t a Jazz fan right now. – 11:01 PM StatMuse @statmuse

“I could feel I was gonna have a big game in the weight room,” Klay said, sensing pregame he had one of these coming. Klay finished with 36 points and 8 threes. – 11:00 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Yeah…I think I’m done with the Jazz. That was a terrible loss. – 10:58 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
tough finish in SF. pic.twitter.com/VEn7Ofu08D – 10:58 PM Tim MacMahon @espn_macmahon

Warriors are going to beat the Jazz 111-107. What a comeback. And with tonight’s victory, Golden State has officially clinched a playoff spot. – 10:57 PM Chuck Cooperstein @coopmavs
GS down 16 in 4th ends the game on a 24-4 run and beat Utah 111-107. Mavs down a game to GS. 2 ahead of Utah and DEN – 10:57 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Utah Jazz lose to the Golden State Warriors 111-107. The Jazz had a 103-87 lead with 6 minutes remaining and scored 4 points the remainder of the game
They made one field goal
They were outscored 24-4….
This was spectacular – 10:57 PM Rob Perez @WorldWideWob
if it makes you feel better Jazz fans nobody probably saw that – 10:57 PM JD Shaw @JShawNBA
By defeating the Jazz tonight, the Warriors have officially clinched a playoff berth. – 10:57 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Warriors officially clinched a playoff spot with that win over the Jazz. Lowest they can now finish is sixth. This win made it a whole lot more likely they stick as either third or fourth seed. – 10:57 PM StatMuse @statmuse
The Jazz have lost 6 of their last 7 games, their only win coming vs the Lakers.
They have blown a 20-point lead in consecutive losses. pic.twitter.com/qzvSE3WSdI – 10:57 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Warriors beat Jazz 111-107. The Jazz had a 21-point lead early in the game, and a 16-point lead with 7:05 left… lost it. Warriors finish game on a 24-4 run. This team is incredibly fragile at the moment.
It’s a big loss: Jazz look increasingly unlikely to have HCA in Round 1. – 10:57 PM Ryan Miller @millerjryan
Jazz were up 16 with 7:05 left in the game, and somehow lose 111-107. – 10:57 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors
x – Clinched.
The 2021-2022 Golden State Warriors are PLAYOFF BOUND.
@kpthrive || 2022 Playoffs pic.twitter.com/GdyAKc5u42 – 10:56 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
FINAL: Warriors 111, Jazz 107. Golden State closes on a 24-4 run. Utah winds up allowing 19p off 13 TOs. Jazz shoot 6-20 in 4Q. 46-32 blah blah blah. We’ve seen enough. – 10:56 PM Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
The Jazz led by as much as 21, but the Warriors won the high-stakes game in the standings with a furious 4th quarter. WOW. – 10:56 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors
DUBS WIN pic.twitter.com/Kui8XumOud – 10:56 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Gigantic late season win for the Warriors. Ripped off an 18-0 fourth quarter run to stun Jazz. Small/spaced lineup, Klay Thompson’s 36 points sparked it. They’re now one up on Dallas, three up on Utah and just clinched tiebreaker vs Jazz. – 10:56 PM Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Warriors get a stop, and secure their most important game in regards to seeding. With this win, Golden State stays in third place (one game up on Dallas) and gets the tie-breaker against Utah. – 10:56 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors
Exhale, #DubNation pic.twitter.com/LyWHZ5GRhE – 10:56 PM Sarah Todd @NBASarah
I think that the Warriors-Jazz game is probably the opposite type of incredible than the UNC-DUKE game is – 10:55 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
And that will do it. The Utah Jazz will blow their second 20 plus point lead of the week. – 10:55 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Don misses a fadeaway 3, rebound Draymond. That should do it. – 10:54 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Great pressure from Wiggins, great close out (Poole?) on the corner 3, big rebound from Draymond – 10:54 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Mitchell gets a corner 3… misses it. Warriors will go to the line to seal their comeback victory. – 10:54 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
My goodness. What a mess from everyone — except for Conley, who doesn’t deserve to be lumped in the negative category. But Gobert with a few critical mistakes here late, Mitchell has missed shots. Royce still has 0 pts, 4 TOs. – 10:53 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Jazz get a tremendous stop … and then throw the ball out of bounds. 6 TOs in 4Q. Have to foul now. – 10:53 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Poole is so tired – 10:52 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Jazz started getting stops now that they’ve brought Gobert up to the level on these screens for Poole. – 10:52 PM The Vertical @YahooSportsNBA
18-0 Warriors run FOR THE LEAD.
Jordan Poole tops it off 💦
pic.twitter.com/UwAn4lbP8t – 10:52 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
The Jazz had the stop… and then Gobert threw the ball away! – 10:52 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors
that’s cold 🥶 pic.twitter.com/NhMXJcqy2e – 10:51 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Conley, again. He’s the only thing keeping the Jazz in this game. – 10:50 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Wait, the Warriors went at Gobert???? And it worked???? You don’t say … – 10:49 PM Ryan Miller @millerjryan
Bogdanovic gets gift wrapped a pair of free throws, and still only makes 1 of 2. Warriors still lead 105-104. – 10:49 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Warriors last six shots have been threes – 10:49 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
What an incredibly bad foul by Klay after he missed a 3, going after a rebound he had no chance at for an over the back breaker. Bojan only hits 1-2 though. – 10:48 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Klay makes a big mistake: fouls Bogdanovic on the rebound. Jazz will have their first opportunity to score in 5 minutes. – 10:48 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Jazz got to 103 points at the 7:54 mark. They’re still at 103 with 2:10 left. 18-0 GSW run. – 10:48 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
2:10 remaining: the Jazz trail the warriors 105-103. Golden State has scored 18 consecutive points – 10:47 PM Christos Tsaltas @Tsaltas46
Klay Thompson at his finest #DubNation – 10:47 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Everyone is exhausted out here right now for both teams. Kerr gets a timeout with 2:10 left, leaving us with a total of 1 (GSW) for either team. The Jazz haven’t scored since the 7:54 mark. – 10:47 PM Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
Can you imagine a game with Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Jordan Poole getting hot? – 10:47 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Kerr calls a timeout. Poole is gassed – 10:46 PM Rob Perez @WorldWideWob
Chase Center has erupted. Warriors just hit 6 straight threes for an 18-0 run to take the lead. pic.twitter.com/fEtYGVMnyo – 10:45 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Gobert offensive goaltends a basket by Conley that was going in! This is an incredible level of mistake making. – 10:45 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Warriors have started taking away the three and living with the drives – 10:45 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Two misses, zero passes on the Jazz last possession.
Like the whole conversation after the Clippers game never happened. – 10:45 PM Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
The Warriors are on a 18-0 run to take the lead. – 10:44 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Iso … miss … O-reb … iso … miss … Warriors 3 and the lead. 105-103 GSW with 3:31 to play. Utah is out of timeouts. – 10:43 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Warriors are 6-for-11 from 3 in the fourth quarter. Completely flipped the game. Now +15 from behind the arc – 10:43 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Klay Thompson: 36 points, eight 3s. Jordan Poole: 27 points, six 3s. That’s 20 made 3s for the Warriors, shooting over the top of a sagging Rudy Gobert. A stunning fourth quarter comeback. – 10:43 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Well, Klay Thompson goes nuclear in the second half, and after another Jordan Poole 3-pointer, the Warriors now lead Utah 105-103 with 3:31 left. – 10:43 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors
JP TREY & WE TAKE THE LEAD pic.twitter.com/2fMBZoTWmK – 10:42 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
That was a very Stephian 3 from Poole. – 10:42 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz’s 21-point lead is gone. It’s Warriors 105-Jazz 103, with 3:31 left. Quin Snyder just used his final timeout. – 10:42 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
A 16 point lead blown in less than three minutes. The Utah Jazz have outdone themselves – 10:42 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Klay is on one for real – 10:41 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors
🗣🗣🗣
fourth quarter klay has taken over. pic.twitter.com/jONzMcZH0V – 10:41 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
I see the good Klay has found his way to Chase Center in the second half. – 10:40 PM Dave Early @DavidEarly
“That’s just…just bad basketball.”
-despite a career high 55 point game, Kevin Durant seems frustrated his team for reaching and fouling so often.
Good news is the Nets now get two days off to rest up and get Seth Curry back.
#NetsWorld pic.twitter.com/OxizOZW4ev – 10:39 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Interesting, Mitchell granted a timeout, correctly, as he was falling out of bounds. He wasn’t granted one for some reason earlier in the same situation. But probably a waste as Jazz have only 0.8 to shoot. – 10:39 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Poole and Thompson are a combined 12-26 from 3. A direct result of the Jazz’ strategy of having Gobert hang back under the rim, all they have to do is come off a screen and they’re open. – 10:37 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors
KLAY!!! – 10:37 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Wiggins 3 … Bogey miss … Klay 3 … Don turnover … Klay 3. And it’s 103-99. – 10:37 PM Ryan Miller @millerjryan
12-0 run by Golden State… Jazz lead down to 4. – 10:37 PM Sam Amick @sam_amick
It’s uh-oh time for the Jazz – again. – 10:36 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Warriors just went from down 16 to down four in 80 fourth quarter seconds. Four made 3s. pic.twitter.com/hDmg8hWz3T – 10:36 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
This is why, no matter what, you can’t sit Klay. The entire globe knows this is possible. At any moment. That’s incredible value, even when he’s struggling – 10:36 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
12-0 warriors run in less than 90 seconds!!!! A 103-87 Utah lead is down to 103-99…what a response by Golden State – 10:36 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Don’t know what to say. 12-0 Warriors run, and Jazz lead is down to just 4 with 5:37 left. – 10:36 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
keep battling. pic.twitter.com/s6jRBFxu4Z – 10:35 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Klay is up to 30. Gonna need one of his explosions – 10:35 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Immediate 9-0 run by the Warriors. My goodness. – 10:35 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Inexcusable error out of the timeout as the Jazz had no idea who was guarding Wiggins and he just dribbled up into a 3. – 10:34 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Royce is struggling this game — 0 for 5 shooting, plus four turnovers. Defense has been iffy at times. At least contributing on the boards, with 6 rebounds. And he may yet hit a timely 3. 103-90 Jazz with 6:55 to go. – 10:34 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Might think about Juancho or House Jr. closing this game for the Jazz. – 10:32 PM Sarah Todd @NBASarah
An interesting wrinkle in the Jazz v Warriors if thinking about the future is that the Warriors have been opening up quarters slow and struggling before closing well (without steph might be different ish) and the Jazz have good starts but sometimes fail to close. – 10:32 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Warriors have 28 points in the paint with 7 minutes left. They average 44.7 — which isn’t great, 23rd, but on pace to be well below their average. They didn’t really try very much tonight. – 10:31 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Quin calls timeout, puts both palms toward the floor — the universal sign for “calm down”. Jazz still up 13 with 6:56 left. – 10:31 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
The Jazz have committed 4 Eurofouls to stop fast breaks in this game. Only about 2.5 more months before it’s gone from the game forever I hope. – 10:30 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
11 forever pic.twitter.com/XFCT6vqQ25 – 10:29 PM Michael Pina @MichaelVPina
it’s cool to see andre iguodala assist draymond green on a slip to the rim while two jazz stick with klay thompson. this is their first time on the court together in literal years. – 10:28 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz lead the Warriors 99-83…9:24 remaining. 12-2 run from Utah – 10:25 PM Sarah Todd @NBASarah
Andre Iguodala just walked over to the Warriors bench and threw a water bottle on the ground so hard it exploded and then yelled. At least he’s helping the guys clean up the mess that went onto the court as well. – 10:25 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Danuel House and Juancho defensively are winning this game for the Jazz. Those are the two that are making Poole and Thompson uncomfortable. They are fighting through every screen, recovering, contesting, even when beaten. Just a grade A performance from both of them – 10:25 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
And just like that, the six-point lead that was slipping away is back up to 16. When this Jazz team gets going … – 10:25 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
Cool. Calm. Conley. – 10:25 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Fantastic response from the Jazz. Conley hit 2 dagger late-clock 3s off switches vs Bjelica and Poole, and then Clarkson gets one in transition. They’ve pushed it back to 16 with a 12-2 run to start the quarter. – 10:24 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
And now Conley sets up a Clarkson 3! Jazz back up 16 with 9:24 left. Big answer from that group to stop the GSW run and turn it around. – 10:24 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Lead is back up to 16 after back-to-back Jazz threes. Warriors just can’t guard Utah consistently tonight – 10:24 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Draymond and Poole back after the Jazz scored the first 5 points of the quarter to go back up 11. – 10:23 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
You know, thinking about a potential Jazz/Warriors series… I’m not sure the Warriors can put a 5-man shooting lineup together that can challenge the Jazz’s POA defense. Gobert can always hide on Dray or GPII or Iggy or something, and help at the rim. – 10:23 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Good stuff by Gobert there. Warriors blitz the PNR, Rudy slips the screen, Conley hits him and Rudy goes strong to the bucket – 10:23 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors
We got a 6 point game going into the fourth

Utah’s 21-point lead down to 87-81 as Golden State closes the third on a 6-0 run. The Jazz have been able to answer every Warrior run thus far — we’ll see if they can do it again.
Donovan Mitchell has 26 points and Mike Conley has 18. – 10:18 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Jazz have cooled from 3, made 6 of their first 14, and then only 6 of their last 23. – 10:18 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz up 87-81 after 3Q. Live win probabilities from @Mike Beuoy say there’s a 77% chance the Jazz win this one… we shall see. – 10:18 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
End 3Q: Jazz 87, Warriors 81. After allowing 23p in 1Q and 22p in 2Q, Utah allows 36p in 3Q. Warriors shot 14-24 in the period, including 6-12 from 3. – 10:18 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
a buckle up fourth, coming right up pic.twitter.com/bs8a9VBwsO – 10:18 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Here come the warriors. Utah led by as many as 21 points. That lead is now 87-81 heading into the fourth quarter. The Jazz broke down defensively in the last seven minutes. Some shots didn’t fall. Poole and Klay Thompson are scorching hot – 10:17 PM Michael Lee @MrMichaelLee
When KD scored 54 vs the Warriors in 2014 to set a career high, the reaction back then was, that’s it? KD dropped 55 vs Atlanta to set a new career high & the same reaction is, that’s it? You just feel like he could commit to taking 40-45 shots one night & just go bonkers. – 10:14 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Man, Mike Conley’s been so good this quarter – 10:14 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
Spida with 26 🕷

Conley’s been excellent, again. – 10:12 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors
defense to offense real quick

Looney in for what were Bjelica’s minutes in the first half. – 10:08 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Gary Payton II steals it from Royce, goes down for a breakaway layup, and the Warriors are within 77-67 with 4:27 left 3Q. Jazz letting the momentum get away again. – 10:07 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors
GPII take offffff
📺 @NBCSAuthentic pic.twitter.com/dmIDfaOwFO – 10:06 PM Kerith Burke @KerithBurke
Jordan Poole sat down frustrated, Andre went to talk to him. – 10:06 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Big Warriors push and Utah’s lead is down to 77-67 with 4:27 remaining in the third quarter. – 10:05 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Nobody is going to the hole, so GP2 decided to attack – 10:05 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
🗣 HORSE CHAMP 🗣 pic.twitter.com/5llTiKcqHR – 10:03 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
GPII with the slam. Warriors down 10. Chase Center is getting loud. – 10:03 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Warriors went back to switching last time down, that time with Looney. But then 2 guys rotated to the corner off the drive and Bojan got a wide open 3 that missed. – 9:59 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
6:36 remaining in the third quarter: the Jazz lead the Warriors 73-60 – 9:58 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
things you love to see: bogey triples pic.twitter.com/qq9kDTljoq – 9:57 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Draymond is heated – 9:57 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Royce O’Neale is just 1-12 from the three-point line and 3-19 overall over his last three games.
Tough stretch for the usually reliable shooter. – 9:56 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Couple of very favorable Jazz whistles there. – 9:56 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
The way this defense is looking, I’m putting JTA in. It’s not like the offense is humming anyway. The Warriors need someone hungry out there – 9:55 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
It’s hard to play looney against the Jazz because then you have to drop and the Jazz just get way too comfortable against drops. Right now it’s wide open look after wide open look. The switch is what makes Utah uncomfortable – 9:54 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
Bojan moves into 5th place all-time in made threes for the Utah Jazz 📈
#UltraMoment | @MichelobUltra pic.twitter.com/pKwBd48geO – 9:53 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Wiggins and Klay getting beat off the dribble with ease. It’s collapsing the defense and setting up the swing-swing threes – 9:53 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Bogdanović with two open corner 3s in the first 3 minutes of the second half. Easy money for the Jazz – 9:53 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Warriors’ conventional PnR defense to start the 3rd is getting lit up. And no, Klay can’t guard Donovan Mitchell. – 9:52 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Warriors keep helping from the Bogdanovic corner, which is unwise – 9:52 PM Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeat
Bam Adebayo’s 16th point moved him past Hassan Whiteside for 13th on the Heat all-time list. – 9:50 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
With Warriors trailing by 13 at the half, third quarter will be about pride. If they have it, really have it, the game tightens and the fourth quarter gets interesting. – 9:45 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
After Kevon Looney’s first rotation, the Warriors went small for most of the remainder of the first half – 9:44 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Mike Conley was terrific in the first half. Really made a bunch of plays out of PNR, put Golden State’s defense in difficult positions – 9:41 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Patty Mills looks exhausted after playing so much earlier in the season. Cam Thomas looks very much like a rookie. Not sure where Steve Nash can go without Seth Curry and Goran Dragic. – 9:40 PM Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Somebody’s got to play with Curry, Dragic and Brown out — but this is not Cam Thomas’ night. He’s made a lot of different mistakes and is just 1-for-7 from the field. Nash gave him 24 minutes. Mills also 0-for-6 in 24 minutes of his own. – 9:38 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
At the half: Warriors trail Jazz 58-45
-Errors on both ends (11 turnovers for 17 Utah pts, numerous missed/late rotations)
-Poole 19 pts, Thompson 12
-Summary: Warriors looking like a marginal playoff team – 9:37 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
at the break in the bay
#TakeNote pic.twitter.com/7mNRSAZgNb – 9:36 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
HALFTIME: Jazz 58, Warriors 45. A couple late stops (and a couple Warriors turnovers) and a transition layup from Bogey give Utah some breathing room. Don 17p. Bogey/Conley/JC 9p. Poole 19p and Thompson 12p for Golden State. – 9:35 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Utah leads the Warriors 58-45 at halftime. Golden State was about to disappear into oblivion until Jordan Poole dragged them back into the game.
Poole: 19 points, 3 rebounds
Thompson: 12 points (5-12)
Wiggins: 7 points (3-6)
Jazz made 9 3s in the first half, Dubs made 8. – 9:35 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops
For as much attention as Rudy Gobert not getting the ball receives, when he gets the ball in the paint 2 feet from the rim and doesn’t even look at the basket also has to be acknowledged.
Nobody on the floor for the Warriors is taller than 6’7.
Just jump. – 9:35 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Jazz lead the Warriors 58-45 at halftime. Utah’s lead swelled to as much as 49-28. It dwindled to as little as 10. They closed the half well. On to the third quarter – 9:35 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz up 58-45 at the half. Those last 30 seconds were really key… Warriors key turnovers and fouls meant Jazz could get back a reasonably large lead. 17 points for Mitchell, 9 each for Conley, Clarkson, and Bogdanovic. – 9:35 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Warriors doing well to be down just 13. – 9:34 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Interested to see how the Jazz try to attack now. Mitchell in particular should have either Klay or Poole to attack. Meanwhile, will Poole’s shooting get Gobert further out on the floor? – 9:31 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

8 straight Poole points and he’s up to 16 on 9 shooting possessions. GSW back within 11 based on that and the switching D the last few possessions which has upped the intensity. – 9:30 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The Warriors go on a quick 8-0 run and Utah’s 21 point lead is down to 53-42…2:11 remaining in the first half. This is where it ceases to be about X’s and O’s. The Jazz are great there. Now it’s about toughness. Or at least the next few min are. – 9:30 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
And here comes Jordan Poole with 8 straight points. Warriors have trimmed Utah’s lead down to 11 with 2:11 to go before halftime. Poole’ up to 16 points tonight. I imagine more are on the way. – 9:30 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Jazz taking a lot of bad shots lately, and GSW responds by going on a 14-4 run. Utah’s 21-point lead is down to 53-42 with 2:11 left til halftime. Warriors are suddenly up to 7 FB points, as the Jazz’s transition defense has waned a bit. – 9:30 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Now a 9-0 Warriors run. Mitchell went for the steal there but ended up in the 3rd row behind the scorers table — and then legitimately couldn’t find a space to get back on the court again. Those courtside seats are packed together closely! Luckily, Snyder called timeout anyway. – 9:29 PM Sarah Todd @NBASarah
Donovan Mitchell jumped into the third row trying to get a steal during a fast break and then couldn’t figure out how to get back out on the floor because of the scorers table and 2 rows of people lol. Very good stuff – 9:29 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Poole might have to play the remaining 26 minutes – 9:28 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Warriors going full switching D for one of the first times I’ve seen this year. They get a stop, but Gobert forces an oreb. – 9:26 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
I’ve still felt that people were burying the Jazz way too early. They need their entire ensemble cast healthy which is a tough ask, but when they are the team is very dangerous. – 9:24 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
9 team threes including this iconic shot 🏹

Draymond Green just said something to his teammates during the timeout. Obviously I couldn’t hear what was said being so high up. But let’s see if it works.
Green’s back on the floor with Kuminga, Porter Jr., Wiggins and Poole. – 9:18 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
14-0 Jazz run, as the Conley/Gobert thing seems to be a thing again. Utah leads Golden State 47-28 with 7:00 left 2Q. Mike up to 9p/3a, and JC has 9p/3r/2a. – 9:17 PM Ryan Miller @millerjryan
14-0 run by the Jazz in the Conley/Gobert plus bench minutes. Haven’t seen this lineup play at this level in a while. Jazz up 47-28. – 9:17 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Danuel House and Juancho have taken this game over defensively. House has gotten through every single screen and shrank Thompson’s space off every catch. Juancho’s length and ability to rotate. It has allowed Gobert to be where he needs to be. In the paint defending the rim – 9:17 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Jazz now 9-for-18 from 3. They’re in a groove and feeling comfortable out there – 9:17 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Mike Conley Jr. just knocked down Utah’s 9th 3-pointer of the night. There’s 7 minutes left in the second quarter.
Warriors trail by 19. – 9:16 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Warriors now down 19. They’ve gotten 1 good shot in the first 5 mins of the quarters without Poole or Draymond in. Meanwhile they’ve had no answers for Jordan Clarkson and Mike Conley on D. 17-5 Jazz in the quarter. – 9:16 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Warriors are down 19 at home to the Jazz in the first half of what is the most important remaining game for them for seeding purposes. Utah is two back, but tiebreaker is on the line tonight. It’s essentially a two-game swing in the standings. – 9:16 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
And Jazz now on a 14-0 run, all thanks to the Conley/Gobert minutes. (Clarkson, too, has been awesome.) Warriors are scuffling on both ends, and Jazz have looked great. Jazz up 47-28, 7 minutes left. – 9:16 PM Sarah Todd @NBASarah
Juancho’s off-ball movement is great. – 9:15 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Warriors 5 points in 5 minutes to start the second. Down 19. – 9:15 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
nothing if not iconic

Hold up… Kerr is letting Kuminga run the point. – 9:14 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Porter is guarded by Mike Conley in the post, but because there was a play being run he didn’t attack. Nobody came open and Iguodala had to hoist a late clock 3. – 9:14 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Yooo the Warriors just had a timeout performer that would have been the second-best Vivint halftime act all year long. He rode 5 skateboards on top of each other on a table! – 9:13 PM Golden State Warriors PR @WarriorsPR
With 12 points in the first half, Klay Thompson has passed Jeff Mullins (12,547 career points) for seventh place on the Warriors’ all-time scoring list with 12,549 career points. – 9:13 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
9:02 remaining in the first half. The Jazz lead the warriors 40-28….Juancho has been tremendous off the bench. Defending, moving without the ball, knocking down shots, securing extra possessions. Just great minutes from him and House – 9:12 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
There we go, really good stuff from the Jazz’s second unit — finally! Clarkson’s playing very well, and Jazz are getting the threes they want. Jazz up 12. – 9:11 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Here comes Kuminga. – 9:09 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Warriors have given up 5 corner 3s, majority wiiiide open – 9:09 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Clarkson got rim-stuffed on the dunk… but it lead to a Conley 3, so it was the smart team basketball play – 9:08 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
The warriors are also really hurting the Jazz in the split action – 9:08 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Jazz at 7-for-15 from 3 – 9:08 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops
Things that make sense:
Juancho Hernangomez being a former 15th overall pick.
Things that don’t make sense:
Boston and San Antonio not know how to use his talents. – 9:08 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
After 1: Warriors trail Jazz 30-23
-7th time last 9 games hey enter Q2 without a lead

Jazz got up 14 threes in the first quarter, including 4 corner 3s. Warriors defense was very poor in the first, not the same type of multiple efforts to get out to shooters we saw earlier in the season. – 9:07 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz

End 1Q: Jazz 30, Warriors 23. Utah 8a on 11 baskets, 6-14 from 3. Only 2 turnovers. Don 11p; Rudy 4p/5r. Wiggins/Thompson 7p for Golden State. – 9:06 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Utah leads the Warriors 30-23 after one quarter. Golden State has already allowed 6 3-pointers. – 9:06 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Jazz up 30-23 after 1Q. Good defensive Q from Utah, I thought… didn’t foul, generally contained most stuff, got back in transition. – 9:05 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
End of the first quarter: the Jazz lead the Warriors 30-23…. – 9:05 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22

Gary Payton II checks in, Warriors’ defense picks up the intensity. It’s like clockwork at this point. – 8:56 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
With Bjelica in, Jazz go with Whiteside on GPII and Hernangomez on Bjelica. – 8:55 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Jordan Poole is out here trying to guard. Just blocked Hassan Whiteside’s shot. Should’ve been an easy dunk. – 8:54 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

📺 @NBCSAuthentic pic.twitter.com/sKpvHeavzQ – 8:52 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Warriors are 3-8, and 3 of those have been jumpers that rimmed out. However, they’ve taken 1 shot in the paint so far with Gobert in. As soon as Whiteside is in, Green, gets an easy floater. – 8:51 PM Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
How many points will Jordan Poole finish with tonight? pic.twitter.com/8AZpxTCOOf – 8:51 PM Andy Larsen @andyblarsen
Gobert had to screen 3 times on that possession, but the third go at it worked. That’s one reason I like the Jazz’s offense so much more when they get into their stuff early: more times to try over if it doesn’t work the first go-around. – 8:51 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
Shout out to Rudy for cracking the top 10 in games played for the Utah Jazz 🔮
#TakeNote | @Rudy Gobert pic.twitter.com/ZjkfJgShAq – 8:50 PM Eric Walden @tribjazz
Jazz with four assists on five buckets early. Also some engaged, aggressive defense, not allowing open looks. 12-5 Utah at the 8:18 mark of the 1Q. – 8:47 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Good start for the Jazz. They lead the Warriors 12-5 with 8:18 remaining in the first quarter. The warriors setting a ton of stuff for Thompson and Poole. The Jazz getting a lot off the dribble from Bogdanovic. – 8:46 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
4 shots already for Klay Thompson. He’s 1-4. Warriors don’t have a lot of offense other than running him off screens with Gobert walling off the rim. Jazz content to just chase Klay with his man while Gobert waits down low. – 8:46 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Klay is feeling it. He took two off-balance threes and one was all net (now ruled a two) and the other was halfway down and rimmed out – 8:46 PM Utah Jazz @utahjazz
44 to 45 👀

Donovan hits a pull-up 3 as Warriors mess up transition D, and Jazz up 12-6. Note that Klay’s earlier 3 was changed to a 2 on review. – 8:45 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Halftime: Durant has 25 points on 10 shots and the Nets are still getting smoked. With no Curry/Brown/Simmons/Dragic the supporting cast just isn’t good enough. – 8:43 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22

KD has 9 points already in the first 2:05 of this game. Without Dragic, Curry and Brown — the Nets are going to need Durant to do even more. As usual, he’s up to the challenge. – 7:44 PM Jason Anderson @JandersonSacBee
The Kings have ruled out Terence Davis (wrist), De’Aaron Fox (hand), Richaun Holmes (personal) and Domantas Sabonis (knee) for Sunday’s game against the Warriors. Alex Len is questionable due to back soreness. – 7:36 PM Golden State Warriors PR @WarriorsPR

Seth Curry said the other day the ankle is causing some pretty consistent pain. He doesn’t think he’ll need surgery after the season — but the only thing that will help the injury is rest.

Greetings from Atlanta. Nets-Hawks tips in about 30. Last time they were here, they got what Patty Mills called “A juicy win. Extra juice!” That will be needed tonight. Short backcourt w/out Curry, Brown and Dragic. A loss drops the Nets to 10th in the standings. Updates to come. – 7:12 PM Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba
Hassan Whiteside is available tonight for the Utah Jazz. Trent Forrest remains out with his concussion – 7:05 PM Ben Anderson @BensHoops
