The Golden State Warriors came into the Barclays Center undefeated and left the same way with a 114-98 win over the Brooklyn Nets.

Stephen Curry scored 11 of his 28 points in the final 2:10 of the third quarter, capping his points tally with five rebounds, two assists, and one steal. Draymond Green added 22 points, nine rebounds, and seven assists; while Klay Thompson chipped in 21 points and three rebounds and assists respectively.

For the Nets, Thaddeus Young scored 25 points and 14 rebounds; while Brook Lopez added 18 points and eight rebounds. The Warriors shot 51.2 percent from the field compared to the Nets 43.8 percent.

“We didn’t close the quarter very well,” head coach Lionel Hollins said. “We took a couple of untimely tough shots, they came down and made 3’s. We turned the ball over a couple of times during that stretch as well. They got some energy.”

This win over the Nets gives the Warriors its 26th consecutive regular-season game win dating to April 9 and they improved to 12-0 on the road.

And, to the victors go the spoils. In this case, throngs of people were following Curry’s every move. While Curry was doing his pregame warmup, people came out of the woodwork to capture photos of Curry. With security detail at his side, Curry signed autographs for fans.

And, of course, Curry received the raucous cheers that superstars receive from the time his name was called during the pregame announcements and when shots were made.

This game was the first sellout of the season, bringing in 17,732 people.

Although the Nets lost this game, they have two consolation prizes. Thus far, they are the only team to force the Warriors into overtime, which the Nets did on November 14.

Also, with a sellout crowd, Nets and Barclays Center management can hear ca-ching!
