Porous defense dooms Warriors in blowout loss to Utah
SALT LAKE CITY — In becoming the class of the NBA, the Warriors leaned on stingy defense just as much as three-pointers or assists. They have ranked among the league's top-5 defenses each of the past four seasons. But in its 129-99 loss Tuesday night to Utah, Golden State appeared disengaged from start to finish, ultimately wrestling with its most lopsided defeat of the season. The Jazz shot 58.2 percent from the field, including 14-for-28 from three-point range, for the Warriors' worst opposing shooting percentage of the season. On a night Utah's Joe Ingles, Derrick Favors and Ricky Rubio shot a combined 27-for-38 from the field, Golden State's Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry finished a combined 9-for-26.
