It went the way you thought it would.
The Brooklyn Nets (9-49), went into Golden State, fell behind, fought back, and the Warriors (49-9) ultimately pulled away for the 112-95 victory Saturday. The loss marks the Nets’ 16th consecutive defeat.
In the first quarter, it appeared as if the Warriors were ready to pull away, mounting for 30 points in just over 10 minutes, as the Nets found themselves in familiar territory. However, after one, the Nets only trailed by four, thanks to a late 7-2 run to close out the first.
In the second quarter, the Warriors were bending but not breaking, as the Nets trailed much of the quarter by one or two possessions, as Steph Curry cooled off, and Golden State reserves were dominating the minutes.
