With the Brooklyn Nets cutting into their lead in the fourth quarter, the Golden State Warriors looked like they were on the way to yet another double-digit blown lead. However, Steph Curry came to the rescue to close out the Nets.
After Cam Thomas and the Nets trimmed the Warriors’ 18-point advantage down to two points in the fourth quarter, the two-time MVP answered with a signature “Curry flurry.” Curry tallied 12 consecutive points to fuel the Warriors when they needed it most in the final frame.
Curry tallied 37 points on 14-of-22 shooting from the field, including six made 3-pointers. Klay Thompson tacked on 24 points, five rebounds and three assists as the Warriors secured a much-needed win over the Nets to snap a three-game losing streak, 124-120.
In his second-game off the bench this season, Andrew Wiggins notched 14 points on 4-of-9 shooting with five boards and an assist in 27 minutes. Brandin Podziemski continued his impressive stretch of games with 19 points, five assists and five rebounds against the Nets.

A much-needed 124-120 win for the Warriors over the Nets. They blew an 18-point lead, but Curry's 16-point 4th saved them.
He finishes with 37 points on 14-of-22 shooting, including 6 three. Brooklyn's Cam Thomas scored 41 points.

Steph Curry scores 16 in the fourth quarter, 37 on the night. Pushes the Warriors past a finish line they needed to cross. They beat the Nets at home. Snap losing streak. Record bumped to 11-14. They're at Portland tomorrow night. Klay Thompson: 54 points last two games.
