Well, so much for momentum. The Warriors get blitzed in the first quarter, and despite modest improvements the rest of the way they just weren’t able to overcome the disastrous start. They got as close as 5 in the closing minutes, but then Phoenix bombed in 3 deep shots to put the game away (while the Warriors missed their corresponding outside shots).

3-point shooting, one of the Warriors’ biggest strengths this season, really failed them tonight as they went 2-18 — and never adjusted. Defense was the biggest problem though, as Lee and Biedrins had team lows of -22 and -16, respectively — though all the starters were double digit negative on that stat. Monta was a volume shooter at 5-17 (though he picked up 12(!) rebounds), Curry was 0-6 from three, and Dorell Wright did a Monta impression at 3-13.

Silver linings? I guess you could point to solid bench contributions from Udoh (team-high +13) and Reggie Williams (19 sorely needed points).

But, ultimately, the team just wasn’t ready to play in a game they needed to win. And as this “easy” stretch of the schedule starts to come to a close, the future of this season is starting to look fairly bleak.

Well, how ’bout that? The Warriors actually won a game with defense — and made it look easy.

With Monta clearly off his game (come to think of it, he hasn’t really been the same since he rolled his ankle — hopefully the 3 days off will help him pull things back together), the rest of the team really stepped up and helped them end their 4-game skid.

Curry was of course the top performer last night, but we also have to mention Biedrins’ second straight double-double (his first such streak since January of 2009), solid games from Lee and D. Wright, and Reggie Williams coming up big off the bench. And Udoh bounced back nicely from a rough game with 21 quality minutes (4 points and 5 rebounds).

Sure, Utah was missing Deron Williams, and sure, they’ve been on a downturn lately, but they’re still talented and well-coached, so it’s not like the Warriors beat the Timberwolves last night. And to do it with very little from Monta, with a huge bench contribution down the stretch, and after a demoralizing loss to the Bobcats, you really do need to give Smart some credit for having the team ready to play and for making adjustments throughout the game. Perhaps the best bounce-back performance of the season for a Warrior!

The end result was right in line with expectations, though at least the Warriors didn’t get throttled this time. After a strong opening quarter where they matched the Spurs at 34, the dubs couldn’t score more than 24 in a quarter the rest of the way and watched San Antonio methodically pull away.

The Spurs rode an incredibly balanced attack on the way to victory: 6 players in double-digits, and 46 points off their bench. Meanwhile, only two players really came to play for the Warriors: David Lee posted an encouraging 31 points (his season high) along with 12 rebounds, and the other stats that jumps out of the box score is Dorell Wright’s 9 assists, which he paired with 18 points and 7 rebounds (dude is probably the second most likely to have a triple-double on this team after Curry — shows how well rounded he’s become).

But with Monta and Curry both cold (shooting a combined 16 of 41, nearly half of the Warriors 85 total shots from the field), Biedrins once again posting a team-low -18 (when was the last time he scored a point?), and little help from the bench (the low-light of which was probably Reggie Williams’ 0 points and -11 in 14 minutes), a win against the Spurs was going to be tough to come by. Gotta play the best to beat the best.

The league-leading Spurs come to Oakland tonight, providing the best home challenge the Warriors have had since the Lakers came to town a few weeks ago. A win here would be the best evidence yet that this team can compete for the 8th spot this year, and at the very least you’d like to see them avoid the 20-point spanking the Spurs handed out in this building back in November.

The Warriors almost overcame a typically slow road start, but in the end there was just too much Blake Griffin (Seriously, hitting a 3 — just his 6th of the year — for the go-ahead basket as the shot clock expires?).

Curry did a nice job taking over the offensive load from Ellis, who probably should have sat this one out (6-21 from the field, 0-6 from 3). Biedrins was woeful once again with just 6 and 6 in 22 minutes with a team-low (by a lot) -18.

Solid line from Lee at 16 and 15, though you have to dock him a bit for Griffin’s performance. Williams showed up with 16 off the bench, but with Curry the only player who cracked 20 it just wasn’t enough.

I guess I can’t feel too bad about this loss, as it was a road back-to-back against a fresh team that’s been playing well at home. But pretty soon the Warriors need to start winning these sorts of games if they hope to be a good team — this game was there for the taking, but they couldn’t get it done in crunch time. And there’s only so long that you can make excuses for losses before you have to expect to stay in the lottery.

For the second time this season, the Kings bail the Warriors out of a demoralizing loss by completely forgetting how to close a game. From 9 points down with about 3 minutes remaining, the Warriors got 3′s from Curry and then Monta, then, after trading a few scores, Monta made his second last minute shot in as many nights, this one to send the game to overtime (where the Warriors quickly pulled away from the deflated visitors).

The Kings opened the door by doing a nice impression of a college team, making only 3 of 6 foul shots in the closing minutes. Still, that distracts from the fact that the Kings were dominating the Warriors from the line until the closing minutes of regulation (it was something like 30-10 in FTA’s at one point, and even with the Kings fouling at the end of overtime they still made it to the line 17 times more than the Warriors).

Monta got the glory — but also an ankle injury, which according to the beat writers isn’t too serious but could still keep him out of tonight’s game against the Clippers — but it was Curry who had perhaps the most important game for the Warriors’ future success. He broke the 30 mark for the first time since December 5 at Oklahoma City, and did so with 8 fewer shot attempts than Monta (providing evidence for Feltbot’s theory that Curry would outscore Monta if he got the same number of shots — will be interesting to see how he plays tonight if Monta sits out with the ankle).

David Lee had a solid double-double, and Dorell Wright came up big on the glass with 12 rebounds to go with his 13 points. Biedrins, on the other hand, did little to respond to Lacob’s implied criticism in some of his recent interviews, with 4 points and 5 rebounds and a team low -14 before he fouled out in only 24 minutes. Yikes.

The bench was fairly quiet in this game, with Gadzuric making the most memorable appearance after Biedrins fouled out near the end of regulation. Gadzuric missed a point blank layup in the closing minute, though he did post a +16 so he wasn’t all bad. Especially if you compare it to Brandon Wright’s -10 in just 3 minutes. If there’s one thing Wright is consistent at, it’s being inconsistent.

So the Warriors avert disaster, and now get a bit of a freebie game tonight in LA against the Clippers (though it would still be nice to win another before San Antonio comes to town on Monday). Their propensity for playing down to their competition is getting a bit concerning, as they are coming off three straight wins that were way closer than they should have been. Still, a win is a win, and the Dubs now have their first 4-game winning streak in three years. They’re back within 4 games of .500, and trail Portland by 4 games in the standings for the 8th and final playoff spot. Can’t complain too much about that, given the recent history of this franchise.

The Warriors finished the first half of the season in style, with a last minute winner from Monta to cap off a sensational 36-point night. While there’s certainly a bit to complain about with this game — Curry’s horrible foul at the end, and the bigs getting beat handily on the boards — at the end of the day they got the win they needed.

Outside of Monta’s big shot, the story of the night was Brandon Wright’s big contribution off the bench. On a night when the team got very little production outside of the starters (as opposed to Indiana, which had all double-digit positive +/-’s off the bench, and the complete opposite from their starters), Wright’s 6 points and 4 rebounds in 12 4th quarter minutes was sorely needed. Granted, this was one of the few matchups where he can be useful (Jeff Foster is about as big of an offensive threat as he can guard), but you gotta give him credit for taking advantage of the opportunity.

Aside from the late foul, Curry was very active as a distributor, dishing out 7 assists against 1 turnover. He lead the team with a +17, though the offensive is still coming along a bit slowly.

Wright continues to put up solid numbers, filling the stat sheet with 21 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 4 steals, and 2 blocks. And David Lee continued his recent run with 21 and 9 — he still can’t seem to get a double double, but he’s coming about as close as you can get.

So the Warriors finish the first half at 18-23, a 36-win pace that would represent an improvement over last year but still leave them well short of the playoffs. At the very least, it would be nice to see this team make a run to .500. I think it will take a trade to get there, as they’ll likely run out of gas once the easy stretch ends and they head back out on the road unless they get an infusion of new talent. Who knows — maybe Wright’s performance tonight can help make that happen.

A somewhat disappointing game, as the Warriors could never quite get separation from a 10-31 team playing a day game on the road. But as Fitzgerald pointed out near the end, this isn’t college football: all that matters at the end is whether you get a W or an L.

And a W it was. The team was led by Monta, who was a bit of a volume shooter today at 11-25, but made up for it with 9 assists against only 1 turnover. In fact, the entire team did a great job hanging onto the ball, with only 6 turnovers in the entire game.

The front line also played well, as David Lee had 24 and 10 and Biedrins got the coveted postgame interview on CSN. Goose didn’t quite get to his double-double of times gone by, but 7 and 9 with a team-high +12 is certainly on the right track.

Kudos to the bench as well, which played well in the second quarter when the Warriors first built the almost-10-point-lead that they would continue to bump up against over the course of the game before frittering it away. Acie Law played about as well as I’ve seen from him this year with 8 points and a couple of assists.

Even the guy who was probably the day’s biggest disappointment, Steph Curry, who thought a touch foul on a layup in the opening seconds would be a great way to start the game, came up huge with a big three in the final minutes when the Nets were making their final run.

So despite playing down to their competition, the Warriors get their 8th win in 13 games, and if they can beat the Pacers and Kings they’ll be able to pull within 4 games of .500 before heading down to LA for their final meeting with the Clippers.

One final point of note: the Warriors won the free throw attempts battle! Huzzah!

Great win for the Warriors, as they weathered a strong start from the Clippers, adjusted well compared to last Sunday, and finished strong to pull away at the end.

Game ball goes to Radmonovic for his two clutch 3′s in the 4th quarter, and for leading the team with a +19. Though there were plenty of players deserving last night: Monta for his huge first half (and though the foul trouble was rough, it kept him fresh at the end of the game), Reggie Williams for providing a huge spark off the bench (particularly in the 2nd after Monta went to the bench with his 3rd foul), David Lee for his solid line and great passing, and even Andris looked like the Goose of old at times before he fouled out.

The postgame talk has been about Curry’s benching at the 4:00 mark of the 4th, but you certainly can’t argue with the results. It just may be the case that against bigger backcourts, Curry will need to sit when the game slows down in crunch time to avoid being a liability on defense. That said, his early offense in this game was huge, especially after his rough game in LA on Sunday.

The Warriors now get a few days off before continuing the home stand in an MLK day matinee against the Nets, which kicks off a stretch of 3 games (Nets, Pacers, and Kings) they desperately need to win as they work to get back to .500.

Didn’t watch the game, but the box score tells the same old story: destroyed on the boards (47-27), destroyed at the line (29 FTAs to 11), and destroyed in the paint (56-40 on points in the paint). On the bright side, the Warriors played great for 3 quarters, but like in Miami and Orlando, let things get out of hand late (not going to win many games when you give up 46 points in the 4th quarter).

Nice game for Monta with 38 on a fairly efficient 15-26, and Wright and Curry also played well with 27 points and 10 assists respectively (with Curry being the only plus player at +2).

But another invisible game from Biedrins, a quiet night for Lee on the boards, and a DNP-CD for Udoh. Throw in what sounded like the usual late-game heroics from Kobe, and the end result was depressingly the same. The Warriors are now 1-2 on their “easy stretch,” so they better start getting things in gear before the season slips too much further out of reach.
