    Just about everything had gone as planned for the Golden State Warriors at home this season until 11:26 remained in the fourth quarter against the Utah Jazz on Saturday night.

    Backup center Jermaine O'Neal slipped along the baseline, spraining his right knee and straining his right groin. The announced sellout crowd of 19,596 hushed, and players and coaches huddled over O'Neal before he was helped off the court.

    It was far more drama than the Warriors wanted against the NBA's worst team. Just as they have in the four previous games at home, though, they responded.

    Klay Thompson led the way with 25 points, and five others scored in double digits in an all-around effort that helped the Warriors hold off the Jazz 102-88 for their third straight victory -- though perhaps its costliest one.
