SAN FRANCISCO – SAN FRANCISCO – With their 600th straight sellout against the Brooklyn Nets at Chase Center Wednesday night, the Warriors have extended a franchise record. The streak started on December 18, 2012, against the then-New Orleans Hornets. Golden State is now the sixth-longest in NBA history & the second-longest active streak. (Miami Heat is the first-longest active streak) The team was also celebrating Latino Heritage Night, as Golden State would win this one in a nail-biter, 109-106.
The Warriors are now on a two-game winning streak after going 2-8 in their last 10 games. The Golden State Warriors are entering their final games of the season and are making maximum efforts to secure a spot in the postseason. Injuries have been a “huge problem and loss,” in the words of Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr. So with that, this win on Wednesday night was a big confidence booster and another win column to the record. The Warriors hope to have a .500 or higher record as they move to 35-38.
Golden State started guards Brandin Podziemski, De’Anthony Melton, forwards Gui Santos and Draymond Green, and center Kristaps Porzingis. Gui Santos will be replacing guard Moses Moody after a scary injury just two days ago. He suffers from a left patellar tendon rupture, and the team will announce more on his injury and status in the following days. However, fans can expect to have lost both of the team wings this season due to injuries. A huge loss for the team as their regular season is reaching its final games.
The Brooklyn Nets started with guards Ben Saraf, Drake Powell, Terance Mann, forward Ziaire Williams, and center Nic Claxton. The Nets are missing their big scorer forward, Michael Porter Jr., who is out for the game due to a left hamstring strain. Center Nic Claxton has been leading the team with his 11.8 points per game and averaging 7 rebounds per game. This young squad hasn’t had much to celebrate this season, but came into Chase Center on Wednesday hoping to end their 8-game losing streak.
In the first half, the Warriors’ shooting and turnovers were the reasons the Nets were able to see early success. By the end of the 1st quarter, Golden State would have 10 turnovers, but was shooting at 50% in all categories. The Warriors were able to stay in the game, but could’ve seen better results on the scoreboard if they were more careful with the ball.
Also in the 2nd quarter, the Warriors went cold, especially from deep. The team would find themselves going 1-of-10 from deep, and with 5 turnovers. This performance wasn’t gonna hold up, especially playing in your own home. So the Warriors went to the paint and had their forwards surround the basket to get easy second chance points.
At halftime, the Warriors are down to the Nets by 8 points, 58-50. The Warriors are dominating and proving they can get rebounds against this young Nets team. However, Golden State had 15 turnovers in the first half. Brooklyn was able to use those possessions to their advantage, and at one point. The Nets had a 13-point lead on the Warriors. Warriors center Porzingis is leading the way so far with his 13 points, 3 rebounds, and 1 assist.
At the start of the 4th quarter, the Warriors were down by 9 points. In the last 7 minutes of the game, we had a tie game at 90-90. Then Warriors rookie guard Will Richard knocked down a 26-foot three-pointer to give Golden State the lead, 93-90. This shot got the crowd on their feet and would ultimately give the Warriors the confidence to finish this game, especially with this sellout crowd. Forcing the Nets to call a timeout, but that would bite them later as they only had one timeout left with a lot of time to play left.
Although the Warriors couldn’t get a shot to go in, they were able to draw in the shooting fouls and get points from the foul. So with that, and the Warriors’ defense clutching up in the end. The Golden State Warriors would go on and beat the Nets after being down 13 points, 109-106.
The Warriors get themselves back-to-back wins for the first time since forward Jimmy Butler III’s injury on Jan. 19th. Player of the game went to Gui Santos. His performance and hustle was important as he also became a big fan favorite player. Santos would finish with 31 points, 4-of-6 from three-pointer’s, 3 rebounds, 2 steals, and 1 assist. Now Golden State looks and has a great chance to make it a three-game winning streak when the Washington Wizards come to the Bay on Friday, March 27th, 2026, at 7 p.m. right back at Chase Center as the team will also celebrate Filipino Heritage Night.
