After dropping a late loss to the Charlotte Hornets to open a four-game road swing, the Golden State Warriors moved on to game two of the trip against the Brooklyn Nets.
With a star-studded matchup that featured the reunion of former All-Star teammates Kevin Durant, Steph Curry and Draymond Green, it didn’t take long for fireworks to start.
Curry and Durant traded buckets as the teams battled in the first half. However, the Warriors were able to stretch a five-point lead at halftime into a commanding 22 point advantage heading into the third quarter. In the final frame, Golden State was able to coast to a 117-99 victory in Brooklyn.
Following the win, Klay Thompson chimed in on Twitter with a message for his team. The injured guard liked the Warriors’ “bounce back” win on Wednesday night.
