After the short-handed Golden State Warriors suffered a tough loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Monday, Steve Kerr’s rotation received some much-needed reinforcements in the final game of a four-game road trip on Wednesday. Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, Al Horford and De’Anthony Melton are all back in the lineup Wednesday night against the Utah Jazz.
With Curry back in the lineup, the Warriors got back to winning ways Wednesday night in Utah. Under the strong offensive performance, the Warriors defeated the Jazz 140-124, ending their four-game road trip.
