The Golden State Warriors muffled the Utah Jazz in Game 4 to move onto the next round, where they await the winner of Houston and San Antonio.
Golden State continued their ransacking through the Western Conference playoff bracket, finishing the sweep over Utah on Monday night.
In the type of game we’ve grown accustomed to, the Warriors won in a blowout and the outcome never seemed in doubt. Golden State dampened the Utah offense, holding them to under 100 points for the third time in the series.

Golden State strutted to a 26-point victory behind a contributing group effort from their stars, led by Draymond Green’s triple-double – which apparently is conducive to their success:

Of course, this just brings us one step closer to what feels like the inevitable: a Warriors/Cavaliers rubber match.
