Game Notes
- Curry on the team bringing their own energy despite the support of traveling #DubNation: [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXakY-JD1NQ&w=560&h=315]
- Curry warmed up with a hunting hat on and Green was in long sleeves, indicating the probable relative temperature of the court in Utah tonight:
- “Utah snapped a six-game losing streak against the Warriors last season, winning 110-100 on Jan. 30 in Salt Lake City. A year better and with a year in head coach Quin Snyder’s system, the Jazz really understand how to slow down a game and play to their strengths.
.
‘We’re going to have to be locked in, for sure,” Warriors interim head coach Luke Walton said. ‘There will be a lot less possessions in tonight’s game than we’re used to. We’ve been turning the ball over more than we want lately, and that would hurt even more tonight without those extra opportunities to score.'” — Rusty Simmons, San Francisco Chronicle - Utah Jazz notes: New starting five impresses in preseason finale — Aaron Falk, Salt Lake City Tribune
- “Harrison Barnes was on crutches at shootaround, but can walk around now without them with a slight limp.” — Diamond Leung, Bay Area News Group
- “INJURY UPDATE: Harrison Barnes (sprained left ankle) will be re-evaluated in one week.” — Warriors PR
- (Last time the Warriors were in Salt Lake City:) “Stephen Curry led the Warriors in scoring, with 32 points, and he went 5-for-11 from 3-point range. But no other Warriors’ player made a 3, except Leandro Barbosa, who went 3-for-4. Pretty incredible that Klay Thompson, Draymond Green, Harrison Barnes and Andre Iguodala combined to go 0-for-10 from beyond the arc.” — Matt Steinmetz, 95.7 The Game
