It looks like Utah must have gotten on Santa's naughty list since the team didn't end up with the victory they were expected to receive on Wednesday. They were within striking distance but couldn't close the gap as they fell 112-107 to the Golden State Warriors. One thing holding Utah back was the mediocre play of point guard , who did not have his best game: he played for 32 minutes but put up just five points on 2-for-11 shooting. Meanwhile, the Denver Nuggets typically have all the answers at home, but on Wednesday Sacramento proved too difficult a challenge.
