Golden State secured a 114-103 win over Utah on Tuesday, with Dennis Schroder scoring 23 points, including five 3-pointers.
Brandin Podziemski added 20 points off the bench, stepping up as Stephen Curry sat out due to knee issues.
Utah dropped its seventh straight game and 10th of the last 11. Collin Sexton led the Jazz with 30 points on 12-of-19 shooting.
Despite his effort, Utah couldn’t overcome its turnover struggles, giving up 26 points off mistakes.
The Warriors took control with a strong second quarter, building a double-digit lead by halftime.
Podziemski fueled the push with five consecutive points before the break. Schroder’s fifth 3-pointer in the fourth quarter helped maintain the advantage, though Utah made a late push.
Andrew Wiggins finished with 19 points, while Kevon Looney grabbed 11 rebounds. Golden State forced six first-quarter turnovers, setting the tone early.
Curry, dealing with tendinitis in both knees, was a late scratch but is expected to return Wednesday against Oklahoma City. Draymond Green (calf) missed his fifth straight game, while Jonathan Kuminga (ankle) remains out.
The Warriors, now 23-23, face the Thunder next. Utah, sitting at just 10 wins this season, hosts Minnesota on Thursday.
