In a crucial game for the Golden State Warriors (11-14) after a challenging week, Stephen Curry delivered a sensational performance, scoring 37 points and leading his team to a 124-120 victory over the Brooklyn Nets (13-12).
Amidst the adversity of a three-game losing streak and the absence of Draymond Green due to an indefinite suspension, Curry’s fourth-quarter brilliance proved decisive. He scored 12 consecutive points.
Klay Thompson played a crucial role, contributing 24 points and hitting back-to-back timely 3-pointers in the closing minutes to secure the Warriors’ much-needed win.
The Nets, led by Cam Thomas’ impressive 41-point performance, fought hard but suffered their third loss in four games during their current five-game road trip to the West.
Despite a late surge by the Nets, highlighted by Royce O’Neale’s 3-pointer cutting the deficit to 120-118, Curry remained composed.
He made a go-ahead layup with 6:46 remaining and followed it up with a crucial jumper, ultimately finishing the game 7 for 7 in the final period.
Rookie Brandin Podziemski had a significant impact with 19 points, five rebounds, and five assists in his second consecutive start. Andrew Wiggins came off the bench for the second straight game, a strategic move by Kerr to balance the lineup.
Dario Saric provided valuable contributions off the bench with 12 points, and Chris Paul orchestrated the offense with 11 assists.
