Warriors cruise to victory, clinch playoff berth
April 7th, 2013
In a game where 4 Warriors players scored over 20 points each, Golden State defeats the Utah Jazz, 122 to 101. The game was a back-and-forth competition until the 3rd quarter, where Utah's offense stalled when Paul Millsap picked up his 4th and 5th fouls in the game. Utah was outscored in the 3rd 31 to 16.
Despite Al Jefferson's 28 point game and Mo Williams' 19 point game, the Jazz had a rough time getting much offense until the 4th quarter. Jazz swingman Gordon Hayward had probably his worst shooting performance of the year, as he shot just 2 for 18 from the field. However, he made up for his shooting woes with 9 assists and 0 turnovers.
Utah was outrebounded 45 to 35. Just goes to show how much of a force Enes Kanter is coming off the bench, and when he's out, Utah can find themselves in big trouble. Here's hoping that Kanter can return against OKC on Tuesday.
