The Golden State Warriors vs Brooklyn Nets matchup is a matchup between two powerhouses, with some of the best sharpshooters going up against each other. What’s even more interesting is that some of them are even former teammates, with a sour history. This obviously makes defeating each other although more important, as everyone could see Stephen Curry enjoying himself draining threes against the Nets.
Despite losing their previous game to the Charlotte Hornets, the Dubs are still at the top of the Western Conference with the best 11-2 record in the league. On the other hand, the Brooklyn Nets are no less, standing third in the East with an 8-3 record. As predicted, the two teams are going head to head with one another in the first two-quarters of the game.
The Nets are a team playing without Kyrie Irving and still holding the fort, thanks to Kevin Durant. However, the Warriors have an entire army of players stepping up this season ensuring they keep the victories coming until Klay Thompson returns. However, the highlight of the game hasn’t been the intensity are rigor, but Steph’s Shimmy takes the cake.

Can Stephen Curry pull off a victory against the Brooklyn Nets?
After Klay was benched from games for two seasons, the Golden State Warriors had lost their magic completely. So, when they finally got back their mojo, fans can’t get enough. This is a team that went on a seven-game winning streak, and if it weren’t for the Hornets snapping them out of it, they would have entered this matchup with that unmatched momentum.
Nevertheless, right until halftime, the two teams were in a tug of war for the lead. As expected, Steph led the way for the Warriors in points, while Harden and KD do their part for Brooklyn.
