The Warriors return to the road on Wednesday night when they visit the Los Angeles Lakers for the first time during the regualr season. The Warriors are looking to right the ship after seeing their eight-game winning streak snapped at the hands of the Utah Jazz on Monday night, 117-107. The Warriors early-season success has been predicated on the team's passing, having gone undefeated in games in which they have registered more than 30 team assists, and holding a 2-3 record in others. They had 23 assists on Monday night.
Stephen Curry continued his hot start, scoring 29 points and collecting three steals while Marquese Chriss had his best game as a Warrior, scoring 12 points. Full Recap
Chriss provided his finest game in a Warrior uniform on Monday night against Utah, attacking the rim early and serving as a defensive stopper in collecting two steals. With Kevon Looney still sidelined with neuropathy, the Warriors are relying on Chriss, as well as newcomers Omari Spellman and Eric Paschall to provide valuable depth at the forward and center positions.
