Brothers Seth and Stephen Curry locked horns during the game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Golden State Warriors. After a poor start to the campaign by the reigning champions amidst the Draymond Green and Jordan Poole saga, things slowly turned up. But the Warriors are still struggling with consistency and are still one of the worst-performing teams away from home. However, the Dubs’ home-court advantage meant nothing as they could not stop the Nets.
The Nets had a similar start to the season with all the controversy surrounding Kyrie Irving. However, they have made huge strides ever since and are on a roll. Irving had a huge game while Steph was hilariously frustrated by Seth even before the game began. The two-time MVP once even revealed no one defends him better than Seth.

Seth and Stephen Curry grew up competing and playing against each other. It is safe to say they know each other’s strengths and weaknesses to a good extent. Seth made sure to mess up with his older brother’s rhythm with a hilarious move even before the game started. As the four-time champion was getting some 3-point shots in during the warm-up, Seth sneaked behind him and intercepted the trainer’s pass as a prank. Steph just bowed his head down as Seth proceeded to run to the trainer to catch up.

The reigning Finals MVP then talked about the 23-24 record of the team. He stated the team should buckle up and close out tight games and find some consistency.
Kyrie Irving led the Nets against the Warriors
After the early season struggles, the Brooklyn Nets were flying under the tutelage of head coach Jacque Vaughn. NBA legend Magic Johnson was impressed with Vaughn and advised the Nets front office to sign Vaughn for the long term. The Nets are now 29-17 and recently went on a 12-game winning streak. But the injury to superstar Kevin Durant came as a huge blow to the Nets.
