Baron Davis, Jason Richardson and Mike Dunleavy made sure that they finished the 2004-2005 season in the same way they have since February 27th when Davis made his debut in a Warriors uniform versus the Detroit Pistons and that is by winning and while winning, putting on a show.
The Warriors dominated the Jazz from the opening minutes, going up 22 at the half and ultimately winning 106-89.
They capped their first half run with an alley-oop from Dunleavy to Davis, which ended with a reverse dunk.
Davis has become everything for the Warriors. When he was on the bench in the 2nd half, the Jazz went cut the Warriors' lead to single-digits, but as soon as he stepped back on the floor, the domination returned.
With less than 90 seconds in the game, Richardson got out on a breakaway and completed a 360 degree dunk.
Davis was the game's high scorer with 23 points and 9 assists. Dunleavy shot 4-6 from beyond the arc, finishing with 18 points.

Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News is reporting that Chris Mullin may elect to trade either Mike Dunleavy or Mickael Pietrus in order to improve the Warriors frontcourt.
Small forward is the Warriors' deepest position and they could elect to deal one of these two players to balance their line-up.
Samuel Dalembert, Stromile Swift and Theo Ratliff are three players Mullin would be interested in acquiring.
With Murphy under a longterm contract, Mullin might want to trade Dunleavy, the less athletic of the two players.
Another option would be for Mullin to package Dunleavy, the former third overall pick, along with the Warriors' lottery selection this year for Andrew Bogut.
