Tough loss for Utah in its first home game & our season 4 opener.
The Jazz led by as much as 16 points in the second half, but Jonas Jerebko's tip-in (in his first game against his former team) with .3 seconds left was the difference in a 124-123 Golden State win.
Jae Crowder's lay-up with 51 seconds to go had given Utah a 123-122 lead, and with the ball back and still up one, Donovan Mitchell missed a long, pull-up jumper with seven seconds left. That gave the defending NBA champions a last possession, and after Kevin Durant (game-high 38 points) missed a pull-up from the elbow, Jerebko made a tricky tip-in for the winning points.
Durant came close to a triple-double, adding nine rebounds and seven assists. Steph Curry scored 31 points and handed out eight of the Warriors' 27 assists. Golden State was excellent from both three-point range (10-of-19) and the field overall (39-of-87, 56%).
Utah started 1-11 from three-point range, but made 18 of its final 35. Joe Ingles led the way, hitting 7-of-11 from behind the arc for a team-high 27 points.

Game 612 - (1) Houston Rockets at (5) Utah Jazz
Western Conference semifinals
Game 3
May 4 at Vivint Smart Home Arena in Salt Lake City, UT
ESPN
I imagine Utah was feeling pretty confident heading into Friday's game. The fifth-seeded Jazz had just evened the series and secured home-court advantage with a win in Houston in game two.
That confidence went away in a hurry.
The top seed had a dominant first quarter and were never threatened in winning 113-92 to take a 2-1 series lead.
The Rockets, who won an NBA-best 65 games during the regular season, shot 61% in the opening period (16-of-26), assisting on 10 of those made baskets and led 39-22 through one. The lead grew to as much as 88-50 in the third on a long Eric Gordon 3-pointer with 4 1/2 minutes to play.
Gordon was great off the bench, finishing with 25 points on 8-of-13 shooting. Gordon and James Harden led all players in scoring with Harden adding 12 assists.
Game four is Sunday.
