The Golden State Warriors defeated the Utah Jazz 123–114 on January 3, 2026, at Chase Center, in a game that finished well below the Vegas total of 248.5 points. Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 31 points while shooting efficiently, supported by J. Butler III's 15 points as Golden State connected on 19 three-pointers and shot 49.4 percent from the field. Utah's Lauri Markkanen countered with a game-high 35 points, and Kawhi George added 22, but the Jazz couldn't overcome a fourth-quarter collapse—they managed just 18 points in the final frame compared to Golden State's 23. The Warriors' defensive rating of 115.8 proved decisive, particularly down the stretch, while Utah's superior field-goal percentage (52.3 percent) went largely underutilized as turnovers and offensive rhythm deteriorated late. Both teams distributed the ball evenly with 32 assists apiece, but Golden State's offensive rating of 124.8 gave them the edge in execution when it mattered most. The loss leaves Utah searching for consistency as the Warriors maintain their Western Conference positioning.
