One game isn’t enough to make definitive statements about the Brooklyn Nets. They might have the pieces to win it all, but they didn’t look like anything resembling championship material on Tuesday.
The Golden State Warriors, on the other hand, are turning back the clock with their style of play, most specifically their third-quarter runs.
Steph Curry ran circles around Brooklyn’s defense en route to a game-high 37 points. This outburst came despite foul trouble knocking him out early in the second half. It didn’t matter as the Nets were outscored by 17 points in the quarter, ultimately leading to a 117-99 loss.
