Butler, who was suspended from the last game, and the team tightened the clockwork and held a nine-point lead at the end of the first half. However, the Hornets once came close in the third quarter, and the Warriors relied on Hield to hit two three-pointers and J. Butler to cut another three-pointer to maintain a nine-point lead.
Podzemski hit back-to-back three-pointers in the fourth quarter to give the Warriors a nearly 20-point lead, and the Hornets struggled to catch up in the back to no avail, and the Warriors were happy to win on the road.
