The Golden State Warriors took down the Utah Jazz on Monday night, beating the team 129-107 with Klay Thompson leading the way with 26 points and 6 rebounds.
It was an impressive victory without a doubt, but it was even more impressive because of their recent string of wins.
As noted by NBACentral, the Warriors have now won seven of their last eight games and have scored five victories in a row.

Some Warriors fans never thought they’d see a day like this, at least not this season.
For most of 2023-24, Golden State has given up some winnable games and has looked like a complete mess.
But they are clearly headed in the right direction now.
Fans shared their opinions about the Warriors’ win streak on Twitter, with many of them thinking brighter days are finally here.
“WE ARE SO BACK!!!” one fan tweeted.
WE ARE SO BACK!!! 🔥

Others praised the coaching staff who, “finally realized they need the young guys.”
On Monday night, rookies Brandin Podziemski and Trayce Jackson-Davis scored 10 and 11 points, respectively, chipping in and helping the team score a victory.

However, other people said that the Warriors have had an easy schedule recently, which has influenced their number of wins.
“Phoenix was the only good team they played,” one person tweeted.

The Warriors have indeed played some easy opponents but wins are wins and this string of triumphs has really helped the team.
They are still the tenth team in the West and far from where they want to be, but they are looking a lot better.
Can they keep this series of wins going strong when they face the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night?
If they can take that team down, people will really think the Warriors are back.
