Golden State Warriors vs Brooklyn Nets Game Player Stats and Ratings for February 5, 2024
The road-weary Golden State Warriors were at the Barclays Center for a matchup against the Brooklyn Nets. Golden State hoped to bounce back from a 141-134 overtime loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Saturday. The Dubs struggled early on versus Brooklyn but managed to keep the Nets within striking distance.
The first half ended with the home team holding a 49-43 lead in a low-scoring affair. Like what they’ve become accustomed to, the Warriors turned on the jets starting the third quarter. They outscored the Nets, 32-21 to get the momentum they needed to start the final period.
The Brooklyn Nets refused to quit easily and gave it everything they had in the final 12 minutes of the game. Timely shots by Steph Curry and Jonathan Kuminga, however, kept the Nets at bay. Uncharacteristically for the Warriors, they shot only 4-of-22 from deep for 18.2% but still managed to win the game.
Curry’s 4-for-11 shooting from behind the arc recorded the only 3-pointers the Dubs made during the game. The Warriors walked away with a 109-98 win by playing resilient and composed basketball. They did not shoot the ball well but they held their own defensively.
