Moses Moody led the offense, dropping a career-high 32 points on high efficiency, while Jimmy Butler contributed a double-double with 18 points and 10 assists, adding three rebounds. Brandin Podziemski continued his scoring uptick, putting in 19 points, while Buddy Hield chipped in 11.

The Warriors recorded 34 assists and drained a season-high 24 3-pointer
