Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors Match Player Stats
The utah jazz vs golden state warriors match player stats from March 10, 2026 tell the story of a remarkably close game that Utah won 119-116 at Delta Center in Salt Lake City. The Jazz entered the matchup at 19-45 and improved to 20-45, while Golden State fell to 32-32. The final score was separated by only three points, but the underlying numbers reveal several important reasons why Utah managed to hold off the Warriors despite committing more turnovers. Shooting efficiency, free throw accuracy, rebounding, and timely individual contributions all played major roles in the result.
This was also a useful example of why a box score should be studied beyond the leading scorer. Brice Sensabaugh led Utah with 21 points, while De’Anthony Melton paced Golden State with 22. However, Kyle Filipowski’s 15 rebounds, Draymond Green’s 11 assists, Blake Hinson’s late three pointer, and Elijah Harkless’ 16 points were equally important to understanding how the game developed.

The most obvious contrast is efficiency.
Golden State made three more field goals than Utah, 43 compared with 40. The Warriors also made four more three pointers. Yet Utah still won because it converted its possessions more efficiently overall and made an enormous difference at the free throw line.
Utah shot 48 percent from the field compared with 43 percent for Golden State. More importantly, the Jazz went 27-for-29 at the free throw line, while Golden State finished 14-for-21.
That produced a 13-point advantage in made free throws.
In a three-point game, that margin is extremely significant.
How the Game Unfolded Quarter by Quarter
The contest remained competitive throughout the night.
First Quarter
Golden State opened with 27 points, but Utah scored 29.
The two-point Utah advantage was small, yet it established the pattern that continued for much of the game. Neither team created a major separation early.
Second Quarter
Utah again won the quarter, scoring 30 points to Golden State’s 28.
At halftime, the Jazz held a four-point advantage.
Golden State was still very much within striking distance, and its eventual 116-point total demonstrates how effectively the offense continued producing points.
Third Quarter
The third quarter became one of the most important stretches of the game.
Utah scored 32 points while Golden State scored 29. The Jazz were able to expand their advantage, and a major momentum swing occurred during the period.
According to the game recap, Utah produced a 12-1 run that pushed the Jazz to an 89-78 lead with two minutes remaining in the third quarter.
That was the largest meaningful separation of the contest.
Fourth Quarter
Golden State responded strongly in the final period.
The Warriors scored 32 points compared with Utah’s 28, cutting into the Jazz advantage and creating a tense finish.
Golden State eventually tied the game at 113 after a Draymond Green free throw with 1:26 remaining.
That sequence demonstrated why the final three-point margin should not be interpreted as an easy Utah victory. The Warriors had multiple opportunities to change the result.
Utah ultimately made the critical plays late.
Brice Sensabaugh Leads Utah With 21 Points
Brice Sensabaugh was Utah’s leading scorer with 21 points.
His line was:
| Statistic | Sensabaugh |
| Minutes | 29 |
| Points | 21 |
| Field Goals | 7-13 |
| Three Pointers | 2-5 |
| Free Throws | 5-6 |
| Rebounds | 2 |
| Assists | 3 |
| Turnovers | 4 |
| Steals | 0 |
| Blocks | 2 |
| Plus/Minus | +4 |
The most important part of his performance was his scoring efficiency.
Sensabaugh made 7 of 13 field goal attempts, good for approximately 54 percent shooting. He also made two of five from three point range and five of six free throws.
His scoring came without an unusually high number of attempts.
That matters because Utah had several players contributing offensively, meaning Sensabaugh did not have to carry the entire scoring load.
His two blocks were another useful contribution. Although scoring usually attracts the most attention, the defensive plays helped make his overall performance more complete.
Kyle Filipowski Controls the Glass
Kyle Filipowski produced one of the most statistically impressive performances of the game.
He finished with 19 points and 15 rebounds in only 25 minutes.
His complete line was:
| Statistic | Filipowski |
| Minutes | 25 |
| Points | 19 |
| Field Goals | 6-12 |
| Three Pointers | 1-3 |
| Free Throws | 6-6 |
| Rebounds | 15 |
| Assists | 5 |
| Turnovers | 4 |
| Steals | 2 |
| Blocks | 1 |
| Plus/Minus | +1 |
The 15 rebounds were the game high.
Filipowski also shot 50 percent from the field and was perfect from the free throw line.
His five assists show that his contribution was not limited to rebounding. He also helped move the offense and create opportunities for teammates.
Utah finished with 50 total rebounds compared with 46 for Golden State. Filipowski’s work was a major component of that four-rebound advantage.
Cody Williams Provides Playmaking
Cody Williams played a team-high 43 minutes for Utah.
He finished with 12 points, seven assists, three rebounds, one block, and a plus/minus of +1.
His shooting was not particularly efficient, as he went 5-for-12 from the field and 0-for-4 from three point range.
However, evaluating his performance solely through scoring would miss his role as a facilitator.
Seven assists were the highest total for any Jazz player.
Williams also handled a large workload, playing 43 minutes in a game that was decided in the final possessions.
His five turnovers were a weakness, but his seven assists helped offset some of that offensive responsibility.
Keyonte George Adds 15 Points
Keyonte George scored 15 points in 24 minutes.
He shot 6-for-15 from the field, 1-for-5 from three point range, and 2-for-2 at the free throw line.
His final statistical line included:
- 15 points
- 0 rebounds
- 2 assists
- 1 turnover
- 0 steals
- 0 blocks
- +4 plus/minus
One unusual factor was that George did not play in the fourth quarter because of illness.
That made Utah’s late-game offensive execution even more notable. Other players had to absorb his minutes and responsibilities while the game was still undecided.
Utah’s Bench Made a Major Contribution
Utah received valuable production from its second unit.
Elijah Harkless scored 16 points, Kevin Love scored 12, Blake Hinson scored 12, and Oscar Tshiebwe added 10.
That gave the Jazz several useful offensive options outside the starting group.
Elijah Harkless
Harkless recorded 16 points, six assists, two rebounds, and one steal.
He shot 4-for-10 from the field and 7-for-8 from the free throw line.
His biggest contribution came at the end.
After Melton’s three pointer reduced Utah’s lead to 117-116, Harkless made two free throws to give Utah a three-point cushion.
That sequence turned his scoring total into a particularly meaningful part of the final result.
Blake Hinson
Hinson finished with 12 points while shooting 4-for-9 from three point range.
That means all four of his field goals came from beyond the arc.
His most important basket came late in the fourth quarter when he hit the go-ahead three pointer with 29.9 seconds remaining.
That shot gave Utah a 117-116 advantage.
In a game ultimately decided by three points, that was arguably the most important individual shot of the night.
Kevin Love
Love played 15 minutes and scored 12 points.
He shot 3-for-4 from the field, 3-for-3 from three point range, and 3-for-3 from the free throw line.
He also collected eight rebounds.
That is a highly efficient offensive line, particularly considering his limited playing time.
Oscar Tshiebwe
Tshiebwe contributed 10 points and eight rebounds in 20 minutes.
He shot 4-for-6 from the field and added two free throws.
His +10 plus/minus was the highest among Utah’s players who received significant minutes.
That does not prove that he individually caused the team’s success, but it does show that Utah controlled the scoreboard during his minutes.
De’Anthony Melton Leads Golden State in Scoring
De’Anthony Melton was the Warriors’ leading scorer with 22 points.
His numbers were:
| Statistic | Melton |
| Minutes | 20 |
| Points | 22 |
| Field Goals | 7-16 |
| Three Pointers | 3-6 |
| Free Throws | 5-5 |
| Rebounds | 7 |
| Assists | 2 |
| Turnovers | 2 |
| Steals | 2 |
| Blocks | 1 |
| Plus/Minus | -3 |
Melton’s 22 points came in only 20 minutes.
He also made all five of his free throw attempts and shot 50 percent from three point range.
That made him one of Golden State’s most efficient scoring options.
His seven rebounds were also notable for a guard.
However, Golden State needed additional late-game production to overcome Utah’s free throw advantage and shooting efficiency.
Draymond Green’s 11 Assists Stand Out
Draymond Green scored only six points, but his 11 assists were the highest total for either team.
He finished with:
- 32 minutes
- 6 points
- 2-for-7 field goals
- 1-for-5 three pointers
- 2 rebounds
- 11 assists
- 0 turnovers
- 0 steals
- 0 blocks
- -3 plus/minus
The zero-turnover figure is especially interesting.
Green created 11 assists without recording a turnover.
Golden State finished with 33 assists overall and only nine turnovers. That was a clear statistical strength for the Warriors.
The problem was that superior ball security did not translate into enough shooting efficiency to overcome Utah’s advantages in other areas.
Gui Santos Provides a Balanced Performance
Gui Santos scored 15 points and added eight rebounds and five assists.
He shot 6-for-13 from the field but only 1-for-7 from three point range.
He also recorded two steals.
Santos’ five assists helped Golden State maintain offensive movement, while his eight rebounds contributed to the Warriors’ respectable total of 46.
His final plus/minus was -6.
Brandin Podziemski Contributes Across Several Categories
Brandin Podziemski finished with 14 points and eight rebounds.
He was particularly effective from long range, making 4 of 6 three point attempts.
His full line included four assists and two steals, although he also committed three turnovers.
One important late-game issue was his free throw shooting.
Podziemski went 0-for-4 from the free throw line.
In a game decided by three points, missed free throws are naturally significant.
Golden State’s overall 14-for-21 performance at the stripe meant the Warriors left seven free points unconverted.
Seth Curry Gives Golden State a Shooting Boost
Seth Curry returned and scored 13 points.
He shot 4-for-6 from the field, 2-for-3 from three point range, and 3-for-3 from the free throw line.
His +3 plus/minus was also positive.
Curry’s 13 points came in only 12 minutes, giving Golden State efficient bench scoring.
Gary Payton II also scored 13 points, while Nate Williams scored 12 and LJ Cryer scored 11.
The Warriors therefore received useful contributions from several reserves.
Complete Golden State Player Breakdown
The Warriors’ individual numbers show a team with balanced scoring but no overwhelming offensive performance.
| Player | MIN | PTS | REB | AST | FG | 3PT | FT | +/- |
| De’Anthony Melton | 20 | 22 | 7 | 2 | 7-16 | 3-6 | 5-5 | -3 |
| Gui Santos | 33 | 15 | 8 | 5 | 6-13 | 1-7 | 2-4 | -6 |
| Brandin Podziemski | 35 | 14 | 8 | 4 | 5-10 | 4-6 | 0-4 | -6 |
| Seth Curry | 12 | 13 | 1 | 3 | 4-6 | 2-3 | 3-3 | +3 |
| Gary Payton II | 25 | 13 | 1 | 0 | 5-11 | 1-5 | 2-2 | +1 |
| Nate Williams | 13 | 12 | 4 | 1 | 5-8 | 1-3 | 1-1 | -1 |
| LJ Cryer | 17 | 11 | 5 | 2 | 4-9 | 3-8 | 0-0 | +8 |
| Quinten Post | 25 | 10 | 4 | 2 | 5-13 | 0-6 | 0-0 | 0 |
| Draymond Green | 32 | 6 | 2 | 11 | 2-7 | 1-5 | 1-2 | -3 |
| Malevy Leons | 13 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 0-2 | 0-1 | 0-0 | -7 |
The distribution shows that Golden State had multiple players capable of scoring, but the team did not convert enough of its overall shot volume.
The Warriors attempted 99 field goals compared with Utah’s 83.
That is 16 more field goal attempts.
Yet Golden State still scored three fewer points.
That difference is a useful lesson in basketball efficiency.
Complete Utah Player Breakdown
Utah’s scoring was spread across the starting lineup and bench.
| Player | MIN | PTS | REB | AST | FG | 3PT | FT | +/- |
| Brice Sensabaugh | 29 | 21 | 2 | 3 | 7-13 | 2-5 | 5-6 | +4 |
| Kyle Filipowski | 25 | 19 | 15 | 5 | 6-12 | 1-3 | 6-6 | +1 |
| Elijah Harkless | 24 | 16 | 2 | 6 | 4-10 | 1-4 | 7-8 | -1 |
| Keyonte George | 24 | 15 | 0 | 2 | 6-15 | 1-5 | 2-2 | +4 |
| Kevin Love | 15 | 12 | 8 | 1 | 3-4 | 3-3 | 3-3 | +6 |
| Blake Hinson | 28 | 12 | 2 | 1 | 4-9 | 4-9 | 0-0 | -7 |
| Cody Williams | 43 | 12 | 3 | 7 | 5-12 | 0-4 | 2-2 | +1 |
| Oscar Tshiebwe | 20 | 10 | 8 | 1 | 4-6 | 0-0 | 2-2 | +10 |
| John Konchar | 33 | 2 | 10 | 3 | 1-2 | 0-1 | 0-0 | -3 |
This table highlights something important about Utah’s victory.
The Jazz did not rely on one player to create every aspect of the offense.
Sensabaugh supplied scoring. Filipowski controlled the glass. Williams created assists. Harkless delivered late-game scoring and playmaking. Love and Hinson provided efficient perimeter shooting.
Shooting Efficiency Decided the Difference
The simplest explanation for the result is shooting efficiency.
Utah shot 40-for-83 from the field.
That is 48 percent.
Golden State shot 43-for-99.
That is 43 percent.
Golden State made more baskets, but Utah required considerably fewer attempts to reach 119 points.
The three point numbers also deserve attention.
Golden State made 16 of 52 attempts, or about 31 percent.
Utah made 12 of 34, or about 35 percent.
The Warriors attempted 18 more three pointers.
However, the additional volume did not produce a major scoring advantage because Utah was more accurate.
Free Throws Were a Major Swing Factor
The free throw numbers may be the clearest statistical explanation for the final score.
Utah:
27-for-29
Golden State:
14-for-21
That is a 13-point difference in made free throws.
Utah converted approximately 93 percent of its attempts.
Golden State converted approximately 67 percent.
In a three-point game, the margin at the free throw line was greater than the final scoring margin.
This does not mean free throws were the only reason Utah won. Basketball games are interconnected, and free throw opportunities can result from defensive pressure, drives, fouls, and late-game situations.
But the numbers clearly show that Utah extracted more value from its trips to the line.
Rebounding Gave Utah Extra Possession Opportunities
Utah finished with 50 rebounds.
Golden State finished with 46.
The four-rebound difference was not enormous, but it favored the winning team.
Filipowski led the game with 15 rebounds.
John Konchar added 10, while Love and Tshiebwe each collected eight.
Golden State had three players with eight rebounds: Santos and Podziemski among the listed players, with the team total reaching 46.
Rebounding was therefore relatively balanced, but Utah still gained a modest advantage.
Turnovers Tell a Different Story
Golden State clearly won the turnover battle.
The Warriors committed only nine turnovers.
Utah committed 17.
That is an eight-turnover difference.
Normally, such a margin would be concerning for the team with more turnovers.
Yet Utah still won.
This is one of the most interesting aspects of the box score because it demonstrates why no single statistic should be treated as the complete explanation for a result.
Golden State protected the ball better and generated more assists.
Utah compensated with superior shooting efficiency and free throw conversion.
Assists Show Golden State’s Offensive Structure
Golden State recorded 33 assists.
Utah recorded 29.
Draymond Green accounted for 11 of Golden State’s 33 assists.
That means one player produced roughly one-third of the team’s total assists.
The Warriors’ ability to create shots for one another was a clear positive.
However, efficient ball movement does not automatically guarantee efficient scoring.
Golden State created opportunities, but its 43 percent field goal shooting and 31 percent three point shooting limited the payoff.
Why the Final Three Minutes Mattered
The final stretch was where individual execution became especially important.
Golden State erased Utah’s advantage and tied the game at 113.
Melton then hit a three pointer that brought the Warriors within one point at 117-116.
Utah responded through Hinson and Harkless.
Hinson’s late three pointer gave Utah a 117-116 lead with 29.9 seconds remaining.
Harkless then made two free throws to create the final 119-116 margin.
The sequence is a strong example of late-game basketball being decided by a combination of shot-making and free throw execution.
Utah did not need a large scoring run at the end.
It simply needed to execute its final possessions better.
Utah’s 17 Turnovers Did Not Prevent the Win
One of the most useful lessons from this game is that turnovers should always be considered alongside shooting and possession efficiency.
Utah gave the ball away 17 times.
That created additional opportunities for Golden State.
Yet Utah still won because its offense was more efficient when it did get shots.
The Jazz made 48 percent of their field goals and 93 percent of their free throws.
This created enough scoring value to offset their poorer ball security.
For anyone analyzing player stats, this is an important reminder not to declare a winner based on one category.
Golden State’s 99 Field Goal Attempts
Golden State attempted 99 field goals.
That number stands out.
The Warriors had a significant volume advantage over Utah, which attempted 83.
However, volume without efficiency can produce misleading box score impressions.
Golden State made 43 field goals.
Utah made 40.
The difference was only three made baskets despite Golden State attempting 16 more shots.
Utah therefore extracted substantially more value from its field goal attempts.
This is one reason the final score can look surprising at first glance.
The Season Series
Golden State won the four-game season series 3-1.
The results were:
- Golden State 134, Utah 117 on November 25
- Golden State 123, Utah 114 on January 4
- Utah 140, Golden State 124 on January 29
- Utah 119, Golden State 116 on March 10
The season series therefore featured four high-scoring games.
Golden State won the first two meetings.
Utah won the final two.
The March 10 result was particularly close compared with the earlier meetings.
The series also demonstrates that the teams had experienced different results depending on the game context and available personnel.
Player Absences and Rotation Context
The game was played with notable absences on both sides.
Utah listed Mo Bamba and Svi Mykhailiuk as coach’s decisions, while Walker Kessler was unavailable because of a left shoulder issue.
Golden State listed Moses Moody with a sprained right wrist and Will Richard with a sprained right ankle.
The game recap also reported that Golden State was without Stephen Curry and several other regular contributors.
That context matters when interpreting the player statistics.
A single-game box score does not necessarily represent the normal rotation structure of either team.
When analyzing these numbers, it is better to describe what happened in this specific matchup rather than assume the same roles would exist in every game.
What the Player Stats Tell Us About Utah
Utah’s statistical profile was built around efficiency and contributions from multiple players.
The most important points were:
- Sensabaugh led all Jazz scorers with 21 points.
- Filipowski produced 19 points and a game-high 15 rebounds.
- Williams recorded seven assists.
- Harkless added 16 points and six assists.
- Love shot 3-for-3 from three point range.
- Hinson hit four three pointers, including the go-ahead shot.
- Tshiebwe posted a team-best +10 plus/minus.
- Utah shot 48 percent from the field.
- Utah shot 93 percent from the free throw line.
The numbers show a team that found several different ways to generate value.
What the Player Stats Tell Us About Golden State
Golden State’s statistical profile was different.
The Warriors relied on shot volume, ball movement, and several individual scoring contributions.
Key points included:
- Melton led the team with 22 points.
- Green recorded 11 assists without a turnover.
- Santos scored 15 points and grabbed eight rebounds.
- Podziemski scored 14 points and made four three pointers.
- Curry scored 13 points in 12 minutes.
- Payton II scored 13 points.
- Cryer added 11 points and finished with a +8 plus/minus.
- Golden State committed only nine turnovers.
- The Warriors recorded 33 assists.
- Golden State attempted 52 three pointers.
The biggest statistical limitation was shooting efficiency.
A 43 percent overall field goal rate and 31 percent three point rate left little room for error against a Utah team shooting 48 percent overall.
The Most Important Statistical Takeaways
For readers searching for a quick interpretation of the box score, five numbers deserve particular attention.
1. 119-116
This was the final score.
The three-point margin confirms how closely the teams competed.
2. 48% vs. 43%
Utah’s field goal percentage was five percentage points higher.
That was important because Golden State attempted 16 more field goals.
3. 27-for-29
Utah’s free throw shooting was one of the clearest advantages.
The Jazz made 13 more free throws than the Warriors.
4. 15 rebounds
Filipowski’s 15 rebounds were the most in the game.
His work on the glass helped Utah finish with a four-rebound team advantage.
5. 11 assists with zero turnovers
Green’s passing performance was one of Golden State’s strongest individual statistical achievements.
He created 11 assists without giving the ball away.
How to Read These Stats Without Overinterpreting Them
A box score provides evidence, but it does not explain every tactical decision.
For example, plus/minus can be useful as a contextual statistic, but it should not be treated as a standalone measurement of individual performance.
Likewise, a player can score 20 points efficiently while having limited involvement in other areas.
The most reliable approach is to combine several categories:
- Shooting efficiency
- Free throw production
- Rebounding
- Playmaking
- Turnovers
- Defensive events
- Minutes and role
- Game situation
That approach provides a more complete understanding of what happened.

Utah Jazz vs Golden State Warriors Match Player Stats: Final Analysis
The utah jazz vs golden state warriors match player stats show a game decided by efficiency rather than simple shot volume.
Golden State attempted 99 field goals and made 43. Utah attempted only 83 and made 40. Despite taking 16 fewer attempts, Utah scored three more points because it converted its opportunities at a higher rate.
The free throw difference was even more decisive. Utah made 27 of 29 attempts, while Golden State made 14 of 21. That 13-point advantage at the line was greater than the final three-point margin.
Individual performances also shaped the result.
Sensabaugh’s 21 points gave Utah its leading scorer. Filipowski’s 15 rebounds helped control the glass. Williams supplied seven assists. Harkless contributed 16 points and six assists before making the final two free throws. Hinson’s four three pointers included the late basket that put Utah ahead.
For Golden State, Melton’s 22 points led the team, while Green’s 11 assists and zero turnovers highlighted his playmaking. Santos and Podziemski each grabbed eight rebounds, and several bench players provided double-digit scoring.
The contrast between the teams is what makes this box score especially informative. Golden State had more field goal attempts, more assists, fewer turnovers, more made three pointers, and more steals. Utah still won because it was more accurate from the field, more efficient from the free throw line, and slightly better on the glass.
The utah jazz vs golden state warriors match player stats therefore offer a useful example of why basketball analysis should consider the entire statistical picture rather than focusing only on points scored.
The final result was Utah 119, Golden State 116, giving Utah its second consecutive victory over the Warriors in the four-game season series. Golden State still finished the season series with a 3-1 advantage, but this particular matchup belonged to Utah because its shooting efficiency and late-game execution outweighed Golden State’s advantages in ball security and shot volume.
