Fri Jan 31 02:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Warriors Defeat Struggling Jazz, 114-103, Behind Schroder and Podziemski

**SAN FRANCISCO –** The Golden State Warriors defeated the slumping Utah Jazz 114-103 Tuesday night, fueled by Dennis Schroder’s 23-point performance and a 20-point contribution from Brandin Podziemski. The win comes as Stephen Curry sat out to rest his knees, a precautionary measure due to ongoing tendinitis.

Schroder’s five three-pointers proved crucial, while Podziemski stepped up in Curry’s absence, also contributing seven rebounds and six assists. Andrew Wiggins added 19 points to the Warriors’ total. Golden State effectively exploited Utah’s turnovers, scoring 26 points off 16 Jazz miscues, including 12 points in the opening quarter alone. Kevon Looney led the boards with 11 rebounds.

Collin Sexton led the Jazz with a season-high 30 points, but it wasn’t enough to prevent their seventh consecutive loss and tenth in their last eleven games. The Jazz continue to struggle against the Warriors, having lost their last seven matchups and nine straight games on Golden State’s home court.

Coach Steve Kerr anticipates Curry’s return to the court on Wednesday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Meanwhile, the Warriors remain without Draymond Green (strained left calf) and Jonathan Kuminga (sprained right ankle), though Green is expected to resume partial practice participation this week. The Jazz will look to break their losing streak when they host Minnesota on Thursday.
