Golden State defeated Utah 134–117 at Chase Center on November 24, with Stephen Curry leading the Warriors with 31 points and Buddy Hield adding 20 in a balanced offensive attack. Golden State's three-point barrage proved decisive, sinking 19 threes while shooting 49 percent from the field and outpacing Utah's 11 made threes. The Jazz kept pace early—Utah's first quarter produced 35 points—but a devastating second quarter collapse, when Golden State outscored them 41–20, effectively decided the contest. Golden State's defense clamped down to a 109.4 rating while the offense generated 126.5 points per 100 possessions, as the Warriors forced 14 turnovers and held Utah to 47 rebounds against their own 50. Kawhi George led Utah with 28 points and Anthony Bailey contributed 21, but the Jazz's 14 turnovers and 14-point three-point differential proved too much to overcome. The final margin of 17 points came in well below the Vegas total of 238.5. Golden State's second-quarter dominance underscored their perimeter depth and defensive versatility, positioning them as a significant threat in the Western Conference race.
