Warriors' Team Effort Secures Win Without Steph Curry
On Sunday at Chase Center, the Golden State Warriors defeated the Indiana Pacers 114-83, though the game was far from flawless. The Pacers entered with a lengthy injury list and a single win this season, while also playing their second game in as many nights after facing the Nuggets in Denver.
Game Overview
The Warriors appeared sluggish through most of the game, especially until the end of the third quarter and the start of the fourth. Despite this, they managed to outscore the Pacers 39-18 in the final quarter, securing a comfortable victory.
Key Performances
- Jimmy Butler led the Warriors' offense, nearly achieving a triple-double with 21 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists in 30 minutes, finishing with a plus-19 rating.
- Al Horford had his best performance of the season. The 39-year-old center, who had struggled with three-point shooting earlier in November, began to find his rhythm during this game.
"Boring can be beautiful. That sure wasn’t the scene Sunday night at Chase Center."
