Woo hoo, that should spin Nelson's head and get him up from his seat finally
Golden State 91, Utah 78
Oakland, Nov. 25 (AP) -- Matt Barnes scored a career-high 24 points, including 17 in the third quarter, and the Golden State Warriors handed the Utah Jazz just their second loss of the season with a 91-78 victory Saturday night.
Troy Murphy had 15 points and 12 rebounds for Golden State, which snapped a three-game losing streak. Andris Biedrins added 14 points and 17 rebounds and Monta Ellis chipped in with 21 points.
The Jazz shot just 32.5 percent from the floor and committed 23 turnovers while being held to their lowest point total of the season. It's just the second time this season Utah has been held below 100 points.
Utah, which had an eight-game losing streak snapped, still owns the best NBA's best record at 12-2 and has matched the best start in franchise history. Both losses have come on the road.
The Warriors (8-6) never trailed and led by as much 20 points late in the fourth quarter.
Barnes, making just his second start of the season in place of Mickael Pietrus (stomach flu), went 10-of-14 from the floor and grabbed seven rebounds before leaving the game after banging his knee against another player with 11:19 remaining.
Utah rallied from second-half deficits to win each of its previous four games, including twice from 16 points down. But the Jazz had no such comeback in the tank against the Warriors, who won for just the third time in the last 24 meetings between the teams.
Matt Harpring scored 15 points for Utah.
Golden State played without leading scorer Baron Davis, who sat out his third straight game with a strained right rib muscle.

Nellie has Golden State playing well and dang those are a lot of TOs for Utah...they ARE playing on a BTB but that's no excuse because Golden State just played a marathon game last night against the Nuggets (129-140)

Only a case of beer could have that kind of effect.
"Utah, which had an eight-game losing streak snapped, still owns the best NBA's best record at 12-2 and has matched the best start in franchise history. Both losses have come on the road."
Should be winning streak snapped.
Wow, leave it to those AP guys
Thank god. Barnes kicked their asses.
Good for MattI wish he was back on the Kings.
boozer and okur COMBINED for 8 points! surprisingly awful.
Jazz = Most overrated team in NBA.
The past several years, they start hot, then everyone gets on their s calling them elite, then they end up missing the playoffs. The Jazz has no superstars, and very average talent. AK-47 is one of the most overrated players in the league. Hes a very good player, but no superstar.
Laughable
ONE LOSS..and they are suddenly overrated?
please
you sound like a very worried fan.
jazz started 4-0 a few years ago, how is that comparable to 12-2? idiot.
Why couldn't Barnes ever do that when when he was with us in Philly?!
He wasn't stellar in Sac either, though he was a great utility guy during certain matchups. He didn't play many minutes at Philly the first go-round, did he? Maybe his total minutes played the last 3+ years are starting to show his last two games? Naw...
When he played for Sac, I liked Barnes' consistancy to come off the bench and make things happen on both ends of the court in short spurts, but he isn't really a hussle guy and lacks (or lackED) passion to really compete. These last two games are probably an abberation. Although, he is the newest member on one of my fantasy squads.
