In their most recent game against the Clippers, despite a valiant effort that saw them leading for nearly 42 minutes and boasting a 15-point lead at one stage, they ultimately fell short by five points. Their offensive output was impressive with 125 points scored, but defensively they allowed 130 points. The team's three-point shooting was notable at 38 percent from beyond the arc.


Prior to that game, the Warriors had an emphatic victory over the Jazz on Utah's home court. They led for over 43 minutes and secured a comfortable win with a margin of 22 points. Their defensive prowess shone through as they held their opponents to just under one point per possession while maintaining an offensive rating above that mark themselves.

However, against the Suns at home before facing Utah, it was a nail-biter as they edged out Phoenix by just one point. The game was tightly contested throughout with numerous lead changes and ties but ultimately saw Golden State emerge victorious.


The upcoming game promises to be another test for the Warriors' defense as they face off against Denver's dynamic offense. Fans should look out for how well Golden State can control Denver's scoring while exploiting any defensive weaknesses presented by their guests.
