The Warriors celebrated their final home game before the All-Star break in style. The party started with Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, and Klay Thompson receiving their All-Star jerseys from Golden State’s General Manager Bob Myers. The Dubs fended-off a resilient Utah team, eventually pulling out a 115-108 victory over the Jazz.
After Utah’s first bucket, Golden State took the lead and continued to control the first half. It took almost nine minutes before the Warriors were able to hit a three, but they made their own impersonations of the Baron Davis bobblehead with dunks and slick finishes at the rim to compensate for cold shooting hands. The first jam came on a Curry-to-Green bounce pass that lit up Oracle Arena.
Golden State’s three All-Stars all finished with big outings. Durant led the squad with 28 points on 11-for-19 shooting. The Splash Brothers had similar stat lines as Curry and Thompson has 24 and 22 points, respectively, to go along with two blocks each.
Golden State now hits the road for one more game against the Portland Trail Blazers before All-Star Weekend. Catch that game Wednesday at 7:30 P.M. on ESPN.
