Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina Warriors sneak out a 94-92 win over the Jazz despite Steph Curry shooting 5-of-20 from field and 1-of-13 from deep. Warriors have always forged a defensive identity, and leaned on that. Jazz shot 38.3% overall & 31.4% from deep – 10:45 PM

Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina Steph Curry checking back in for the final 2:54. He went to scorer’s table at 4:29 mark, but there wasn’t a stoppage in play. Either way, we’ll see if he has a 3 in him. – 10:38 PM
Dave Early @DavidEarly “Yeah, I think it’s been well documented that he’s one of the poster childs.”

Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer Final: Wolves beat the Nets 136-125 to finish the road trip 2-2. Kyrie Irving dropped 30, Mills had 21 while Harden had just 13. Bad week for the defense. Nets return home to face the Lakers on Tuesday. See you all there. – 10:25 PM

Sarah Todd @NBASarah Honestly smart move for Rudy to get the KG block on Curry’s shot after the whistle. Curry is 1-of-7 from 3, keeps him from seeing the ball go in (not that it totally matters with a shooter like Curry, but anything you can do, y’know) – 9:55 PM

Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski Kyrie Irving looked like he had a clear breakaway. Then Jaden McDaniels swooped in, so he passed to Mills. Then Vanderbilt was there. That’s the difference with this Wolves team. Long arms and hustle. – 9:41 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski Kyrie Irving looks like he never left. The touch, the finishing, the handle, it’s all there. – 9:36 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz HALFTIME: Warriors 55, Jazz 54. Nice bounce-back from Utah after opening the quarter pretty lethargically. Still, definitely got some help from GS missing a few open looks (Warriors 7-18 FGs in 2Q). Bogey 15p/6r. Gay 10p/5r. Conley 9p. For GSW: Lee 12p, Poole 11, Curry 10. – 9:34 PM

Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer Halftime: Nets trail the Wolves 72-62. Awful defensive first half for Brooklyn. Edwards and Russell have combined for 32. Irving has 10. Every Nets who has played has scored. Nets seem to be frustrated with some of the officiating. Wolves shooting 57 percent from the field. – 9:11 PM
Nick Friedell @NickFriedell Nets have seen it a lot already this year — Harden drives to the rim, either gets locked up or throws up a wild shot — and doesn’t get the whistle. Same thing happened in final moments of first half after running into KAT. The explosion doesn’t seem the same. He’s now 1-for-8. – 9:11 PM
Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis #Nets down 72-62 at the break after allowing .568 shooting. James Harden has just seven points on 1-of-8 shooting. Meanwhile, D’Angelo Russell and Anthony Edwards have combined for 32 points for the #Timberwolves. – 9:11 PM
Jon Krawczynski @JonKrawczynski KAT smothers Harden on the final drive of the half. Wolves shot 19 FTs to Nets 8. Can’t complain about the calls so far (even if there have been a couple shaky ones)

Nick Friedell @NickFriedell Nash has been frustrated over the last few weeks with the defensive intensity at times — Nets just gave up 37 points in the first.

Gina Mizell @ginamizell Tyrese Maxey walking slowly to the bench after he was just on the ground a minute ago. Sixers are already without their other top 5 perimeter players (Curry, Thybulle, Green, Milton annddd Simmons) – 7:53 PM
Mark Giannotto @mgiannotto COLUMN: The way Memphis rallied around Penny Hardaway in recent days is why he’ll keep this job, maybe as long as he wants it. But for him to succeed in this job, he’ll need to get better. On a gutsy win at Tulsa and the subtle signs of progress. commercialappeal.com/story/sports/c… – 7:51 PM
James Boyd @RomeovilleKid Patrick Mahomes makes the most F U throws in the league. 😂😂😂 It’s like Steph Curry and his F U 3s in the NBA. – 7:43 PM
Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA Tonight’s @PrizePicks for Wolves-Nets
DLo over 18.5 pts
– should attack BKN’s switches + drop coverage
Vando over over 9.0 rebs
– should handle BKN’s size well
Harden under 8.0 rebs
– i guess he averages 8 per, but that feels high
Edwards over 3.0 FTs made
– refs!!!! – 7:41 PM

Rob Schaefer @rob_schaef DeMar DeRozan and Moe Wagner just got into it a little bit in Orlando
Wagner wrapped DeRozan up to prevent a fastbreak. One would understand the Bulls being a little sensitive to such a play right now – 7:40 PM
