Grading Warriors' win over Jazz

Share

Stephen Curry scored a game-high 23 points against the Jazz, earning him top marks amongst the Warriors performers Wednesday. Here is how the rest of the team graded out...

[RECAP: Warriors 94, Jazz 83]

Steph Curry
23 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists, only 2 turnovers.…18 points in the first.  Curry took it up a notch in this one, looking completely dominant.  He had a couple of dribble drives straight from the And-1 tour!  Oh by the way, the Jazz point guards (minus Mo’Williams)  scored a grand total of…zero.  An all-star effort from Curry.
Grade: A+

Andris Biedrins
Biedrins entered the game 2-and-half minutes in due to Ezeli’s defensive struggles and dominated with 12 rebounds, a block and great defense on Al Jefferson.  He did everything but score in this one.
Grade: A-

David Lee
His streak of 12 straight games with at least 20 points on 50% shooting came to an end.  And even then, he came really close…scoring 18 points on 7 of 16 shooting…9 boards too, by the way.
Grade: A-

Jarret Jack
15 points on 5 of 9 shooting.  And, he got in faces of 6'10ers Enes Kanter and Derrick Favors to standup of for one of his teammates.  As usual, Jack was a leader and a producer.
Grade: A-

Klay Thompson
Only shot 5 of 13, despite taking only 3 points shots from 3 point range.  But, I thought he played heads up help defense.  He also had a nice steal late in the 1st half.  And, he had a great sequence early in the 2nd half where he was taking the ball to the hole and finishing like Latrell Sprewell in his prime!
Grade: B

Draymond Green
Again, not much scoring for Green.  But, again, he gets his hands in passing lanes.  And, he forces Hayward to step on the out of bounds line in the second half.  He always brings it defensively.
Grade: C+

Harrison Barnes
Only 16 minutes on this night.  He managed to knock down a triple en route to 7 points.
Grade: C

Carl Landry
Landry, the tough low post guy, fell in love with his jumper on this night—which does a lot to explain his 4-12 shooting.  
Grade: C

Festus Ezeli
Classic case of eager young player biting like a pit bull on the up fake.  Al Jefferson really used him in the first 2 minutes.  But, he played much smarter to start the 3rd quarter.  He even had a good finish for his only bucket of the game.
Grade: C-
