SALT LAKE CITY — The rims at the Delta Center are regulation sized, just like they are at all 30 NBA arenas.
The Warriors stuck with their starting lineup of Steph Curry, Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, Draymond Green and Trayce Jackson-Davis, expecting to give that unit some runway to start the season. It struggled in the first game against Portland, and again stumbled from the tipoff. Payton helped key a 14-2 run with a pair of steals and by forcing a jump ball. Buddy Hield drilled two 3-pointers, Curry added another and Golden State turned defense into fast breaks.
He’s not the superstar he was in college, but for stretches — like in the second period — everything can orbit around him just like when he was a Sooner. Hield’s seventh trey of the game gave the Warriors a 94-67 lead. Golden State was just being cruel by that point. It was Hield’s 12th 3-pointer in his first two games — an NBA record for a player with a new team.With a true 12-man rotation, Golden State wore down its opponent once again. The Blazers and Jazz aren’t threats to make the postseason this season, but the Warriors easily handled each.
