New Warriors Playing Well
The Warriors looked like the dynasty they once were in their 139-104 season-opening win against the Blazers. The 1st quarter was tough for both sides, and at one point, Golden State was down by 9 points. From the 2nd quarter on, the Warriors gradually pulled away with good ball movement, solid defense, and 3-point shooting. Golden State shot 51 percent from the field and made 20 3-pointers.
The newest Warrior and “splash brother,” Buddy Hield, led the Warriors in scoring with 22 points. The blowout win marked the largest season-opening victory in franchise history. Golden State is ready to face the Jazz and aims to continue their strong road play, as they did last season.
Jazz Depth Scoring
The Jazz lost their season opener at home to the Grizzlies, 126-124. Utah was down by 9 at halftime, and while their scoring improved as the game progressed, it wasn’t enough. The Jazz shot 47% from the field, made ten 3-pointers, and converted 34 free throws. Lauri Markkanen led the Jazz in scoring with 35 points, and Walker Kessler recorded a double-double with 16 points and 14 rebounds.
Warriors vs Jazz Prediction
The Warriors have won five in a row against the Jazz and swept the season series last year. All those games were high-scoring, with some being reasonably close. The Warriors already took care of the Blazers, who were well under .500 last season, and they aim to continue that trend against Utah. Golden State is the stronger team on both ends of the court, and all the new Warriors played well in the season opener.
