On the second leg of a back-to-back, the shorthanded Golden State Warriors didn’t have an answer for the Utah Jazz at San Francisco’s Chase Center on Wednesday night.
In the first half, the Jazz surged to a double-figure lead. However, the Warriors began to slowly chip away at the Jazz’s advantage. Before halftime, Utah’s lead was cut to five points. Yet, it took till the fourth quarter for the Warriors to tie the game against the Jazz.
Without Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins, players like Patrick Baldwin Jr. and Ty Jerome stepped up on the way to Golden State’s comeback.
Along with hitting several clutch shots, Jerome recorded 17 points off the bench on 7-of-14 shooting from the field with a pair of made triples. Baldwin Jr. added 11 points with three made 3-pointers in 13 minutes off the bench.
With each team trading tough possessions in the fourth quarter, Golden State’s defense played a difference down the final stretch. Draymond Green came up with a pair of late blocks to help the Warriors hold the lead in the final minutes.
Jordan Poole led the team with 26 points on 7-of-22 shooting from the floor as the Warriors were able to complete the 112-107 comeback for their third straight victory at home.

Updated Warriors splits after that win over the Jazz
