Hayward’s 3-pointer with 4:20 remaining made it 91-80 before Thompson and Curry connected from beyond the arc on consecutive possessions to trim it back to a five-point deficit.

Lee’s layup with 1:21 left brought Golden State to within 93-90, but Jarrett Jack missed a tying 3-point attempt and Williams provided the dagger for the Jazz when his 3-pointer found the bottom of the net with 14 seconds remaining.

Curry scored 12 points in the first quarter to help the Warriors take a 27-24 lead. His 3-pointer early in the second stretched it to 38-29 before Utah began to take control. Hayward capped a 17-3 burst with a 3-pointer and the Jazz took a 56-48 lead into the half.
