The Utah Jazz lost, 129-107, to the Golden State Warriors on Monday night at the Delta Center.
Here’s a look inside the numbers from the Jazz loss:
Best performance: Stephen Curry not only finished with 25 points, but was also hugely impactful on nearly every play, adding 10 assists and six rebounds to his final stat line.
Worst performance: Taylor Hendricks is very clearly going to have a long way to go to be an impactful NBA player. He struggled on both sides of the floor and finished with zero points.
18: The Jazz committed 18 turnovers, which led to 23 points for the Warriors.
12: The Warriors didn’t have a crazy amount of offensive rebounds, but on their 12 offensive boards they got 23 second-chance points.
26: Klay Thompson was the high-scorer, finishing with a game-high 26 points.
Best of the best: Curry was shooting just 4-of-12 overall through the first three quarters for 10 points, and then scored 15 points on 5-of-7 from deep in the fourth.
Worst of the worst: Hendricks is still in the stages of learning some pretty basic defensive fundamentals and until he gets the hang of it, he’ll foul a lot (he finished with a team-high four) and be out of position often.
