Worst Loss of the Season

The Warriors felt their worse loss of the season last night against the Utah Jazz falling 108-117 in overtime. The Warriors looked like they were dead in the water getting behind by 20 points in the game. Then Jason Richardson proceeded to carry this team on his back. Then he hit a three pointer and landed on the defenders foot and looked like he suffered a severely sprained ankle. Be that as it may, he came back into the game hobbling a minute later and kept making shots. From the course of before the injury to after the injury he made 10 straight shots to get the team up in the final seconds of the fourth quarter. The Warriors were up by 3 point with about 4.5 seconds left and they elected not to foul and give Utah the chance to tie the game and they did. It was all down hill from there as the Warriors came out deflated in the overtime and lost by 9 points. The only thing worse then allowing the game to go in OT because of the 3 was that in the closing couple of minutes the Warriors proceeded to clank free throw after free throw that if they had made one more would have given them the game. The Warriors blow a heroic 35 point Jason Richardson performance and solid performances from the youngsters Ike Diogu, Andris Biedrins and Monta Ellis.

Next up for the Warriors on Wednesday night is the Orlando Magic who are one of the bottom of the league teams this year. The Warriors need this win to end the four game losing streak. Hopefully Jason Richardson will be able to play in that game and hopefully Baron Davis will find a way to be back for that game as well.
