The Golden State Warriors extended their win streak to three games on Thursday after they had a 121-119 victory against the Brooklyn Nets. The Warriors are now 35-28 this season, thanks to the dominating performance of All-Star guard Stephen Curry. The point guard played 35 minutes and had 40 points, four rebounds and four assists.
Most of the shots Curry took went in, as he made 60% of his shots from the field. From outside the 3-point arc, the Warriors star shot 7-for-13. His new co-star, Jimmy Butler, helped out with his 25 points, six assists and three steals. The defensive forward was reliable from the charity stripe as he knocked down all of his 10 attempts.
