The Golden State Warriors sat Steph Curry and Draymond Green but still managed to defeat the Utah Jazz. Klay Thompson had an impressive performance, scoring 19 points in the first half and 25 overall in just 20 minutes. The Warriors utilized their deep bench in the second half, limiting the playing time of their playoff rotation players. Despite the win, it didn't have a significant impact on their standings as they head to Sacramento for a play-in game as the 10th seed.
Golden State Warriors ’ Moses Moody and Kevon Looney battle Utah Jazz ’s Luka Šamanić for a loose ball in the first quarter of their NBA game at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., on Sunday, April 14, 2024.
No one in the Warriors’ playoff rotation played more than 23 minutes in a game that amounted more to a tune-up than anything. Golden State avoided finishing the year with a losing record in Chase Center by beating the Jazz, 123-116. Santos got early minutes, as did Dario Saric — who has been out of the rotation for months. Golden State kept either Chris Paul or Thompson on the court at all times in the first half, maintaining a baseline level of competitiveness.
The Warriors led by seven at halftime, while the Kings and Lakers each built comfortable halftime leads in their respective games. The play-in picture unfolded: Warriors as the 10th seed in Sacramento, with the winner traveling to the loser of Pelicans-Lakers.
