Instant Warriors analysis: Butler, Horford take over against hobbled Pacers
"SAN FRANCISCO With back-to-back away losses behind them and a brutal six-game road trip lying ahead, the Warriors took advantage of the team's only home game in a 16-day stretch on Sunday evening. Golden State won 114-83 in what was, mostly, a rock-fight of a basketball game until late in the third quarter. Jimmy Butler led the team with 21 points, while Moses Moody scored 13, Brandin Podziemski had 14 and Quinten Post scored 14."
"The Warriors were not totally healthy, either. Steph Curry missed his third consecutive game while recovering from an illness. However, the face of the franchise was an active participant on the sidelines while wearing white sweatpants and a jacket. Curry sat next to the coaches and could be seen having conversations with teammates during timeouts. Coach Steve Kerr said he hopes Curry will be ready to play when the Warriors (6-4) travel to Oklahoma City on Tuesday."
Golden State won 114-83 over the Indiana Pacers at Chase Center, using a late third-quarter surge to pull away.

The Pacers arrived shorthanded with nine players ruled out, including four regular starters. Steph Curry missed his third straight game while recovering from an illness but remained active on the sidelines.
