- Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr hit the championship-clinching shot for the Chicago Bulls in Game 6 of the 1997 NBA Finals against Utah off a pass from Michael Jordan… Kerr’s Bulls also defeated Utah the following year in the 1998 NBA Finals.
- Warriors center Andrew Bogut, along with Jazz guard Dante Exum and guard/forward Joe Ingles, attended the Australian Institute of Sport… Bogut and Exum were both born in Melbourne, Australia.
- Bogut played collegiately at the University of Utah from 2003-05 before entering the 2005 NBA Draft after his sophomore season.
- Enes Kanter at shootaround: A “who cares” on Klay’s 37-point quarter. “I think we have enough talent to guard him.” – Aaron Falk, Salt Lake Tribune
- Warriors Andrew Bogut, who missed Tuesday’s game with the flu, went through this morning’s shootaround and will play vs. Utah. – Rusty Simmons, SF Chronicle
