Nets vs. Warriors: Score, Video Highlights and Recap from November 14
ABOUT THE NETS (1-8): Center Brook Lopez has been a consistent force during the team’s horrendous start and had 17 points and 10 rebounds against the Kings.
Shooting guard Klay Thompson was out for the Warriors with back stiffness, leaving the Dubs without their best defender. Neither would the Nets.
Instead, Iguodala buried a three-pointer to tie the game after Brooklyn failed to foul.
His free throws gave Brooklyn a 97-94 lead and left the Warriors with one last chance. So no matter how bad the Nets are this year the end of the tunnel is still dark because the Celtics get their pick. His 12 assists were earned in a variety of different settings – half-court and fast-break, moving the ball away from Curry and sending it back towards him. “The way our offense is set up, everybody has to be ready at any given moment”.
And the streaks remain intact. The Suns have won seven of the last eight meetings between the teams. So if there’s such a thing as pounding a team from mid-range, the Nets do – and did – just that: they hit a ridiculous amount of mid-range jumpers and two-pointers (18-for-32 on non-restricted area twos in the first half ain’t no joke), which led to a 15-point first-quarter lead over the 10-0 Golden State Warriors.
Although it wasn’t his most polished performance, Warriors point guard Stephen Curry dropped a game-high 34 points to go with six assists.

Early on, Walton figured the Warriors just hit an early defensive lull and would snap out of it. “I knew about it going into the game”, Stephen Curry said.
As Curry rose to take the shot, the 39-year-old Miller somehow got a hand on the ball and jarred it loose.
Goran Dragic finished with 14 points and Hassan Whiteside grabbed 14 rebounds for Miami, which started the game on a 9-0 run and opened the fourth quarter with a 13-4 spurt. Draymond Green shot just 7-of-18, but he recorded a triple-double with 16 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds. Bogut also started the overtime with a dunk.
“It was my fault, but I was kind of stuck in a tough spot”, he said. “We escaped that one”, Bogut said. Curry passed his father Dell in 3-pointers made tonight, so maybe he does deserve to sit in his recliner.
“He told me to shoot as many twos as I want”, he said. “But I ended up shooting 16 threes so I’m not very coachable for my Pops”. Walton said Barbosa is expected to return to the team by Monday.
Wiggins missed the game on Tuesday night against Charlotte with a sore right knee and was a game-time decision.
A second Filipino Heritage Night will be held on March 25, 2016, when the Warriors take on the Dallas Mavericks. “The National Basketball Association is such a global game now that it touches home even when it’s not on USA soil”. “Our prayers and thoughts are with those people right now”.
