by Joe Hawkes-Beamon

BROOKLYN — Stephen Curry led all scorers with 34 points, but it wasn’t enough as the Golden State Warriors (24-14) saw their 10-game winning streak come to an end in Brooklyn, 102-98 Wednesday night. The Warriors finished tied for an NBA-record 6-1 on their season-long seven-game road trip.

David Lee finished with 20 points and seven rebounds, Klay Thompson scored 14 points, and Andre Iguodala added 10 for Golden State, who committed 18 turnovers in the game. Curry was responsible for seven turnovers, but did have seven assists while playing a game-high 45 minutes.

Andrew Bogut finished with 10 points and nine rebounds.

Brooklyn (14-21), playing without start point guard Deron Williams, got a huge boost from Joe Johnson, and Kevin Garnett.

Johnson led Brooklyn with 27 points on 8-for-17 shooting from the field, including 9-for-11 from the free throw line.

Garnett scored 11 of his 13 points in the fourth quarter, and stole Curry’s pass with the Warriors trailing by three with 30 seconds left to play.

Brooklyn added a pair of free throws while Thompson’s desperation three-pointer as time expired fell short, helped the Nets pick up their season-high fourth straight victory.

Golden State returns home to Oracle Arena Friday when they host the Boston Celtics.
