Warriors' Team Effort Secures Win Without Steph Curry
The Golden State Warriors defeated the Indiana Pacers 114-83 at Chase Center on Sunday night, but the performance was far from flawless.
Game Context
The Pacers were dealing with numerous injuries and had only one win in the 2025-26 season, which came against a short-handed Warriors team seeking revenge. Additionally, Indiana was playing the second game of a back-to-back after facing the Denver Nuggets the night before.
First Three Quarters
The Warriors appeared sluggish in front of their home crowd until late in the third quarter. Despite the lopsided final score, the game was not a smooth display of basketball.
Fourth Quarter Surge
Golden State dominated the fourth quarter, outscoring the Pacers 39-18 to seal a convincing victory.
Standout Performances
- Jimmy Butler led the Warriors' offense, nearly achieving a triple-double with 21 points, 9 rebounds, and 7 assists across 30 minutes, finishing with a +19 plus-minus.
- Al Horford, at 39 years old, had his best game with the Warriors despite early struggles—having missed several three-point attempts earlier in November, including during the team's earlier loss to the Pacers.
“Jimmy Butler was the Warriors’ offense, and he nearly put together a triple-double.”
“Al Horford had his best game with the Warriors. The 39-year-old center hadn’t made a three in the first week-plus of November.”
