Andre Iguodala scored 17 points, Harrison Barnes had 14 points and 11 rebounds and the Golden State Warriors used a blistering start to beat the Utah Jazz 101-88 on Friday night for their fourth straight win.

After a four-day layoff, the Warriors showed no signs of rust. They led 28-13 at the end of the first quarter, 54-32 at the half and 85-57 entering the fourth.

Golden State (9-2) is off to its best start in 41 years.

Enes Kanter scored 18 points, and Gordon Hayward had 12 points and five rebounds for a young Jazz team that's struggling against top competition. Utah (5-8) hasn't beaten a team that currently has a winning record.
