SALT LAKE CITY — So much for the Warriors inability to win back-to-games.
Stephen Curry scored a season-high and game-high 44 points, and Andrew Bogut scored 16 points and grabbed 17 rebounds, helping Golden State to a 95-90 victory over the Utah Jazz Friday night at EnergySolutions Arena.
Curry recorded his fifth 40-point game of his career, all on the road.
Golden State (29-19) picked up back-to-back wins for the first time since their recent 10-game winning streak in three weeks. Golden State took out the Los Angeles Clippers. 111-92, Thursday night at ORACLE Arena.
Curry was just deadly, shooting 14-of-26 from the field, including 8-of-13 from 3-point range.
Harrison Barnes, starting for the injured David Lee, scored eight points, but shot 2-for-10 from the field. Lee sat out tonight’s game with a left shoulder and hip injury. The Warriors are off until Tuesday when they host the Charlotte Bobcats (21-27), which will allow their power forward time to get healthy.
Klay Thompson had 11 points, but was a dreadful 3-of-20 from the floor, while Andre Iguodala finished 1-of-6 from the field with four points.
Golden State held the edge in points in the paint, outscoring Utah 36-28 down low.
Alec Burks led all scorers for Utah with 26 points off the bench, while Enes Kanter had 15 points and seven rebounds for the Jazz (16-30).
Diante Garrett chipped in 13 points off the bench.
Golden State swept the season series from Utah (3-0), and have won consecutive games in Salt Lake City for the first time since 1981.
“We knew we need to win this game to validate last night’s (against the Clippers) game,” said Curry after the game.
