The Golden State Warriors defeated the Brooklyn Nets, 117 - 101, at Barclays Center on Thursday. The Warriors (26 - 4) have a reputation for being just slightly less prolific on the road, but they had no trouble generating offense against the lowest - ranked defensive unit in the league Thursday, even without Draymond Green, who missed the contest for the birth of his child. Kevin Durant led the way with a near double - double consisting of 26 points and nine rebounds, and he added seven assists and three steals. The Golden State defense was the other star on the night, as they elicited 26 turnovers from the Nets, while only committing 12 of their own. Klay Thompson was second with 23 points, five rebounds, two assists and four steals. Stephen Curry had one of his poorer shooting nights, going for only 15 points (6 - 19 FG, 3 - 13 3Pt) and adding seven assists, two rebounds and five steals. Zaza Pachulia was particularly productive, supplying 15 points, 14 rebounds, four assists and a block. David West led the bench with 10 points, six rebounds, two assists, two steals and two blocks. The Nets (7 - 21) were paced by Brook Lopez, who registered 28 points, eight boards, two assists and two blocks. Sean Kilpatrick totaled 14 points, four boards and two assists. Bojan Bogdanovic was next with 12 points and three boards. Jeremy Lin put together a 10 - point, 11 - assist double - double that also included two steals and two blocks.
