The Golden State Warriors (13-12) visited the Utah Jazz (14-12) on Wednesday. Golden State wanted to right its wrongs from a home loss to the Pacers on Monday. Utah wanted to rebound from a home loss to the Trail Blazers on Saturday.
Despite 82 points among Jordan Poole, Jonathan Kuminga and Klay Thompson, horrendous late-game execution let a victory slip away in a 1-point defeat at the hands of the Jazz.
Poole led the Warriors with 36 points on 10-for-23 shooting with eight assists against six turnovers. Kuminga poured in 24 points on 10-for-13 shooting, along with nine rebounds and seven assists.
Jordan Clarkson led the Jazz with 22 points on 9-for-20 shooting with nine assists. Rookie Simone Fontecchio scored 18 points on 6-for-10 shooting off the bench.
Here are three observations from the Warriors’ loss.
