The Warriors, who are now 4-1 since adding power wing Jimmy Butler, destroyed their opponents in Northern California to start the season after the NBA's traditional All-Star break. As a consequence, they are in ninth position in the Western Conference and have won two more games than they have lost for the first time since January 4.

The Warriors began Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Moody, Butler, and Green in a lineup that best suited their shooting, finishing, playmaking, and defensive versatility for the second consecutive game. Green and Butler can assist from the frontcourt, while Curry and Podziemski can create chances from the backcourt. After leading the Golden State Warriors to a 132-108 victory over the Sacramento Kings, Stephen Curry became the first player in NBA history to achieve 700 20-point career games. Buddy Hield scored 22 points, Podziemski and Moody combined for 43, and Curry was one of four players to score 20 points or more.
