Utah has now won 13 of 14 and swept the season series with Golden State. Al Harrington had four 3-pointers to lead the Warriors with 21 points, reports the Associated Press. Elsewhere in the Association:

  • The San Antonio Spurs, playing their first home game in over three weeks, defeated the Charlotte Bobcats 85-65. Manu Ginobili led the Spurs with 18 points.
  • Rashad McCants scored 20 points in Minnesota’s 104-88 victory over Philadelphia. The result snapped the Timberwolves’ five-game losing streak and also brought the 76ers five-game winning streak to an end.
