Every moment of Steph Curry’s career brought the home audience at Barclays Centre to its feet, but when it came to the Brooklyn squad, there was a strange hush. The quiet night in New York was a reflection of the awkward game that the Warriors played on Monday night, winning 109-98.

The Warriors’ bad luck was most evident in the first half, when they committed 10 turnovers, which opened the score to 15 points for the Nets. The slump was broken by Jonathan Kuminga’s 17-point second-half surge, which helped the team win easily. He shot 9 out of 18 from the field for 28 points in the end.

With little more than a minute left, Curry led the Warriors to a 10-point lead with a team-high 29 points while leaning in on what seemed to be a hometown crowd. He even encouraged the audience to shout after drawing a and-1 on a driving floater.

Klay Thompson had another difficult game, managing just eight points on 4-of-9 shooting from the field and 0-for-3 from three. For Gui Santos, he was benched during the 34th crunch time game for the Warriors.

Due to a left foot sprain sustained during the first half of the Warriors’ Saturday loss to the Atlanta Hawks, Andrew Wiggins was unable to play on Monday. According to coach Steve Kerr, the forward’s condition is day-to-day before the game.

In Wiggins’ place, Brandin Podziemski got off to a start with Curry, Thompson, Kuminga, and Draymond Green.

Moses Moody returned to the starting lineup after being out since January 10 due to a calf strain. In fifteen minutes, he scored four points.

The Warriors, who are currently 22–25, will play the 76ers in Philadelphia on Wednesday before concluding their five-game road trip in Indiana in time for the trade deadline on February 8.
