Despite early turnovers in the fourth quarter, the Warriors maintained their composure, with Andrew Wiggins scoring seven consecutive points to secure a comfortable lead. Moses Moody and Jackson-Davis continued to shine, while Klay Thompson’s contributions, despite a shooting slump, were invaluable in securing the win.
