NZ Warriors have earned their second win of the NRL season, with a much-improved performance against Brisbane Broncos, easing to a 20-6 victory at Redcliffe ...

Warriors coach Nathan Brown said they looked to scale back their style of footy for what turned out to be an impressive Brisbane derby.

Steph Curry has not played a basketball game since March 16 against the Boston Celtics, where he was injured and the Warriors ultimately lost in the second half. The good news is that Steph Curry was spotted in practice recently without a walking boot on. The Warriors will have to figure out a way to avoid both the fourth seed and the fifth seed without the services of Steph Curry. It's going to be an incredibly tough task, but one that will really prepare the rest of the team for when Curry returns later in the playoffs.

With Stephen Curry out until the playoffs, Golden State will face the challenge of integrating its stars and role players for a deep playoff run.

“The difference between day one and now is as dramatic as any player,” Kerr said of Poole. “I’ve ever seen in that amount of time. The Warriors will soon find out if Curry, Green and Thompson alone can make the difference. But even with the Warriors (48-29) nursing slim leads for the third seed over the Mavericks (48-30) and the fourth seed over the Utah Jazz (46-31), Kerr will prioritize health over maximizing home-court advantage. Although the Warriors experienced a 107-103 loss to Phoenix on Wednesday, Kerr became pleased with the team’s improved effort level and execution. We’re trying to win every game, [but] not at the expense of health,” Kerr said. Though the Warriors stormed out to a 29-9 record before Thompson’s return, the Warriors have gone 3-10 this season without Curry and have lost six of the past seven games since his injury. But the Warriors dispatched the San Antonio Spurs in five games in the first round of the playoffs because they had a fully healthy and motivated Kevin Durant, Green, Thompson and Iguodala. Because of that championship depth, the Warriors eliminated the New Orleans Pelicans in five games in the second round while Curry returned with a limited workload. Since Curry’s absence, Thompson has averaged 22.8 points albeit on inefficient shooting from the field (41.5%) and inconsistent marks from 3-point range (39.66%). That nearly mirrors what Thompson has averaged since the All-Star break even when Curry played (17.1 points on 40.9% shooting overall; 35.6% from deep). With Thompson nursing two season-ending injuries to his left ACL (2019-20) and his right Achilles tendon (2020-21), the Warriors anticipated the five-time All-Star would experience rust. “He’s one of the best players in the league. But the overlapping nature of the Warriors’ injuries to their three best players has created varying degrees of turbulence. The Warriors announced on Friday they will evaluate Curry on April 11 after already missing the past seven games with a sprained ligament in his left foot.

Two first-half tries from Jesse Arthars and a masterful display from young star Reece Walsh has carried New Zealand to a 14-point win against Brisbane.

Remarkably, Flegler was reported for a fourth time in the second half for a hip-drop tackle that saw Warrior Ben Murdoch-Masila taken from the field. Warriors Matt Lodge and Addin Fonua-Blake set the tone in a dominant first half carrying for 121m and 113m respectively, while Walsh dazzled throughout with a series of dashing runs and flashy passes. The Broncos had the best chances of a particularly scrappy second half via Corey Oates on the left wing, with a diving effort that saw him ground the ball in touch the closest either side came to scoring a try.

The Warriors have kept the Brisbane Broncos scoreless in the second half to win their NRL match 20-6 in Redcliffe.

Reece Walsh slotted two penalty goals in the second half to give the Warriors their second consecutive victory, after losing the first two matches of their NRL campaign. The Warriors have kept the Brisbane Broncos scoreless in the second half to win their NRL match 20-6 in Redcliffe. Warriors winger Marcelo Montoya scored in the left corner just before half time to give the Warriors a 16-6 lead at the break.

"You can see him during practice, pulling guys aside, talking to them," Kerr said. "We were hoping maybe he'd play one or two games at the end of the regular season," Kerr said. "Stephen will gradually begin individual on-court activities next week, and his eventual return to practice will be based on his continued progress," the Warriors said.

We go over some of the best betting options for Saturday's matchup between the Utah Jazz and Golden State Warriors.

Both teams are in slumps offensively, ranking in the bottom 10 in points per game over the last 10 contests. The Utah Jazz meet the Golden State Warriors for the final time this season with both teams fighting for homecourt advantage in the first round of the playoffs. Golden State is still without Stephen Curry, but Jordan Poole has adequately filled the role of the star point guard.

The Kiwis might play in New Zealand before the Warriors do, but despite media reports otherwise, the club wouldn't make players unavailable.

It would be a great occasion to see all of these players involved in a rugby league test in New Zealand, but it is also understandable that the Warriors would be irritated that this fixture would detract from their own homecoming celebrations.

Everything went Utah's way against the Dubs in the teams' previous meeting in February as they made off with a 111-85 victory. Barring any buzzer beaters, Utah is expected to win a tight contest. Utah's center Rudy Gobert did his thing and dropped a double-double on 25 points and 17 rebounds.

Brisbane Broncos played the New Zealand Warriors in Redcliffe, is what was very much a home game for the Warriors.

Oates drops a golden chance for an intercept, just as the crowd of 9,260 is confirmed on the big screen. The match might not have ticked all the boxes for many fans present, but the spirit of rugby league is alive and well in Redcliffe. Brenko Lee is on the field for his Broncos debut, and it's hard not to feel for him when the former Queensland Maroon's maiden contribution is the concession of a penalty. Staggs tries to lift his work rate with a strong charge on the left, but hands go to haunches immediately after he plays the ball. Walsh plucks a Reynolds kick from mid air and the Warriors are back inside 40 a few short minutes later. He's pulled down, and the end of set bomb is dropped by Brisbane just short of the Warriors line. After just a few minutes of the second half, they are increasing their advantage in the energy stakes. Brisbane's discipline is shot, on and off the ball. Kotoni Staggs makes a rare foray into the attack on the right edge. The Broncos are consigned to a 12 man defensive line, and are displaying a worrying lack of line speed. The Broncos are led out by a beloved local junior from another club, captaining this club in his maiden season. On the Warriors sheet- changes also- but the headline has to be the big inclusion in the number 24 jersey.

Steph Curry has made Warriors fans rise out of their seats and lose their voices far too many times to count. Jordan Poole, who extended his streak of scoring ...

His next game will come after an earned break when the Warriors return to San Francisco for a Thursday night matchup with the Los Angeles Lakers. He always finds a little extra motivation facing the team his father Mychal won two championships with, and he's sure to give Golden State fans every reason to stay standing in their final home game of the regular season. I've missed them the past two years, and I'm really excited to have a great week and get there." From coaches to teammates and all the fans, the love was felt. "Even when I come out to warm up for pregame shooting and to get the cheers from the crowd, I don't take that for granted. But I think the fact that the mid-range shot was there with [Rudy] Gobert down in a drop allowed Klay to get to the foul line area and pull-up for a few mid-rangers. It also was the perfect boost for a fan base begging for a win. This was the fourth time that Klay has scored at least 30 points through his first 30 games this season, and he finished just two points off his season-high. He reminded himself that it's only one game, that this season will be full of the highest highs for him and the lowest lows after such a long layoff and to the stay the course. Thompson dropped 12 points each in the third and fourth quarter, scoring 24 of his game-high 36 points in the second half. "I thought early on, I thought he was a little impatient," Kerr said. He sat down next to his brother Mychel, shared a laugh and smile and then went to work. After a single missed free throw, he shook his head, walked towards the Warriors' logo at half-court and quickly found his stroke again.

Draymond Green and Joe Lacob were all smiles after a huge comeback win over the Jazz clinched a playoff spot.

Two teams in search of momentum-building efforts, while on the cusp of the postseason, will go head-to-head Saturday night when the Utah Jazz visit the ...

Utah has more to lose Saturday than the Warriors, who can clinch a playoff spot with a win. Each made at least half their shots on a night when the Jazz finished at 51.1 percent. The honor comes attached to a top-four finish in the Western Conference. "There's not a sense of panic with this team," Clarkson said. It's just part of the season." Meanwhile, Golden State has dropped four in a row.

The Utah Jazz are on the road but looking no worse for wear. It's anybody's game after one quarter, but Utah is ahead of the Golden State Warriors 33-28.

The Jazz took their contest against the Warriors in the teams' previous meeting in February by a conclusive 111-85 score. The Jazz have been relying on shooting guard Donovan Mitchell, who has 26 points, and point guard Mike Conley, who has 21 points and seven assists. They have emerged as the frontrunner after three quarters and are ahead of the Golden State Warriors 90-81. Utah's center Rudy Gobert did his thing and dropped a double-double on 25 points and 17 rebounds. That makes it four consecutive games in which Gobert has had at least 11 rebounds. The top scorers for Golden State have been shooting guard Klay Thompson (24 points) and shooting guard Jordan Poole (24 points).

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr knows Klay is pressing.

While Klay has struggled to accept this reality of the return to play process, coach Kerr says it's much better to deal with a player who is overaggressive rather than a player who is too tentative. He hasn't been consistent within that time, because emotionally, he wants this so badly that he tends to press a little bit" Steve Kerr said of Klay Thompson. "That's the biggest thing we're trying to help him with. Klay has experienced far more poor shooting nights than he had hoped for, and head coach Steve Kerr contextualized his struggles a bit.

Klay Thompson led the way as the Warriors came back from 21 to beat the Jazz and clinch a playoff spot.

When the Warriors weren't attacking, Payton was going to the basket. That could be true against some of the best in the West. The Warriors are without the greatest 3-pointer shooter of all time. Here are three takeaways from a much-needed Warriors win that improved their record to 49-29 on the season. The Warriors rode an 18-0 run in the fourth quarter against a Jazz team they very well could face to open the playoffs. Early on, the Warriors struggled with the same issues that have hampered them as of late, turning the ball over too often, fouling too much and going cold from the field.

The Golden State Warriors came back to beat the Utah Jazz.

This game was definitely a big step forward in Klay's progress, as he works to get back to the player Golden State will need him to be in the playoffs. Coming back from a 21-point deficit, the Warriors officially clinched a playoff spot with this win. When talking about himself, Klay joked and said, "I should've had 40."

Golden State clinched its spot in the postseason after Thompson hit four 3-pointers in the fourth quarter of a thrilling comeback win over the Utah Jazz.

But with just over a week remaining in the regular season, the Western Conference seeding, outside of the Phoenix Suns and Memphis Grizzlies holding the top two spots, respectively, remains murky. “We didn’t stick to our coverages,” Payton said of the team’s issues in the first half. Thompson looked like the player Warriors fans have come to adore, going 8-for-17 from beyond the arc, making six of those threes in the second half. In the second half, we adjusted to it and made it difficult for them to get threes off.” They went 12-of-26 (or 46.2%) from three-point range, while limiting the Jazz to 6-of-22 (27.3%) from three in the final two quarters. The Warriors took a timeout when they were down by 16 with a little less than 9:30 remaining.

In a season full of ups and downs, the Warriors are back to where we're used to seeing them: The NBA playoffs.

James Wiseman, the No. 2 pick in the 2020 draft, won't play one game this season after injuring his meniscus in his rookie year and dealing with setbacks this season, and key players like Gary Payton II and Otto Porter Jr. have missed a handful of games as well. Kerr has said this season is unlike any he has dealt with in the past -- as a coach or player. Even without Thompson to start off this season, the Warriors came out of the gate firing on all cylinders. Just four games into the season, Steph Curry broke his hand, played only one more game and the Warriors had the worst record in the NBA at 15-50. But Kevin Durant tore his Achilles tendon in Game 5 of the 2019 Finals against the Toronto Raptors, and Klay Thompson tore his ACL in Game 6. They did make the inaugural play-in tournament, but despite heroic efforts from Curry, the Warriors came up short in both games.

ANALYSIS: Shaun Johnson is ticking all the boxes the club wanted him to tick in his return to the Warriors after three years away.

It didn’t help the Warriors to add to their points tally, but he did peg the Broncos inside their half and stopped them mounting a comeback. In the fifth minute Johnson threw a stunning no-look pass for Jesse Arthars for the opening try. Like elite athletes at their peak, our sports journalists are highly trained in the art of news.
