Warriors endure largest loss of 2017-18 in regular-season finale at Utah

SALT LAKE CITY — The Warriors entered their regular-season finale Tuesday night staring down a strange question: Would they try to win a game that they'd benefit from losing? Hours before tip-off, head coach Steve Kerr told reporters that his team's approach wouldn't change just because falling to the Jazz would assure Golden State of not facing Oklahoma City or Utah — two potentially daunting matchups — in the first round of the playoffs. Kerr's pregame message didn't seem to resonate with his players, however, as the Warriors stumbled through a 119-79 loss to Utah at Vivint Smart Home Arena.
