Overview
- Golden State pulled away with a 10-0 close to the third and a 39-point fourth to finish a 49-18 surge in a 114-83 win that moved the team to 6-5.
- Stephen Curry missed a third straight game with an illness; Steve Kerr said he is expected to return Tuesday in Oklahoma City to start a six-game road swing.
- Indiana was severely depleted, with Tyrese Haliburton, Pascal Siakam, Aaron Nesmith and others unavailable.
- Jimmy Butler led with 21 points, nine rebounds and seven assists, while Al Horford hit four threes—all off Butler feeds—and added three blocks.
- The 31-point margin was the Warriors’ largest in a game without Curry since 2009-10, though Kerr said the group has yet to establish a clear identity.
