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.

#2 Right now Stephen Curry is out with a right knee injury and his return is estimated around Mar 21. The Warriors need every win they could get but Mar 21 is a long ways off they’ll have to depend on each other if they going to keep pace for a play in spot.

Golden State Loses to Chicago in Overtime, 130-124, on South Asian Heritage Night.

SAN FRANCISCO – On March 10, the Warriors returned home to San Francisco at Chase Center to host the Chicago Bulls in a non-conference game as part of their celebration of South Asian Heritage Night. So far this month, the Warriors have gone 1-3, losing two games in a row. This game was a back-to-back feature after just yesterday, March 9th, the team lost to the Utah Jazz, 119-116. In fact, in the last five games, the team went 1-4 with their last win being five days ago against the Houston Rockets in an overtime win, 115-113. Now the Warriors have lost the last three games in a row, after losing to the Bulls Tuesday night, 130-124.

The Chicago Bulls are on their West Coast road trip games, as they just came from Sacramento. The Bulls lost to the Kings, 126-110, on Sunday, March 8th at the Golden 1 Center. Bulls are 2-2 so far in March, and have gone 2-3 in their last five games. Altogether, the Bulls have gone 10-20 on the road. This is the teams second time seeing each other as Golden State dominated Chicago in their home on December 8th, 2025, with a final score of 123-91, a 32 point win for the Warriors. The Bulls were able to grab their first win and get the last laugh on their West Coast visit against Golden State.

The Warriors and Bulls have a few connections tied together. Warriors head coach Steve Kerr played for the Chicago Bulls for five seasons (1993-94 – 1997-98), helping Chicago to win three NBA Champions (1996-98). Coach Kerr racked up 378 games for the Bulls coming off the bench, averaging 8.2 points, 1.5 rebounds, and 2.2 assists. If Golden State had won, this would’ve been coach Steve Kerr’s 600th career coaching win.

The Golden State has had some injuries that have impacted the team and roster. However, Draymond Green was listed as questionable at first coming against the Bulls, but Warriors coach Steve Kerr addressed in his pregame press conference that Green will be playing in his 33rd home game. The team will still lack some players and starters as Jimmy Butler (right ACL surgery), Stephen Curry (right patellofemoral pain syndrome), Moses Moody (right wrist sprain), and Seth Curry (left sciatic nerve irritation management) are ruled out.

Not only did Draymond Green return for the game. Kristaps Porzingis had returned to the lineup after missing the team’s last game against the Utah Jazz. His last game was on Saturday, March 7th, in which he posted 9 points, 5 rebounds, and 5 assists in Oklahoma City against the Thunder. The Warriors entered this game in ninth place in the Western Conference (32-32).

The starting five for the home team was Gui Santos, Draymond Green, Al Horford, Will Richard, and Brandin Podziemski. The Warriors are 19-13 on their home court so far this season. Warriors Podziemski is averaging 12.7 points, 5.2 rebounds, and 3.7 assists for them. He also dropped 21 points on the Bulls when they first saw each other in Chicago.

Chicago started with Leonard Miller, Jalen Smith, Guerschon Yabusele, Matas Buzelis, and Josh Giddey. Chicago is third in the league with 34.7 defensive rebounds per game, led by Josh Giddey, averaging 7.0. Bulls Matas Buzelis is scoring 15.4 points per game with 5.5 rebounds for the Bulls. This Chicago squad has had a lot of rough moments, especially in last month, February, were the Bulls didn’t win any games at all in that month.

The Warriors were able to get on the board first after Brandin Podziemski got fouled on a shooting attempt that sent him to the free throw lines, and he was able to knock both of his attempts down. The Warriors were able to put 30 points at the end of the 1st quarter and hold on to the lead as well; it was 30-26 at the end of the 1st quarter. Warriors Porzingis came in for almost 4 minutes, and he was ready as he dropped a quick 7 points for Golden State.

Going into the 2nd quarter, the momentum still belonged to Golden State. The team was shooting 40% on the floor halfway through the 2nd quarter. Golden State’s bench has put up 19 points, while Chicago was able to match and surpass the Warriors in points in the paint, 18 points. However, with Golden State knocking down 11 three points so far in the 1st half, the team was able to hang on to the lead, but not for long. Tre Jones makes a 23-foot three-point jumper to give Chicago the lead 50-49, followed up by a lazy transition defense effort on Golden State that led to Bulls Buzelis to get an easy dunk in.

The Chicago Bulls would end the 1st half with a lead at 57-51. Bulls Josh Giddey has already recorded himself a double-double with 10 assists and 14 points. The Warriors are being led by Podziemski with nine points, two steals, and three assists. Golden State heads to the locker room hoping to lock in on their defensive game plan as Chicago also lead and control on the board game. The Bulls snagged 29 out of the Warriors’ 20 rebounds.

Coming into the second half, Chicago was able to score first this time from Jalen Smith on a layup. After that, Chicago held the entire third quarter. The Warriors ended the third quarter down by six points. Golden State’s shot selection improved, but Bulls Matas Buzelis would drop 11 points by himself in the third quarter that helped them hold the lead.

The Warriors made their comeback efforts in the fourth quarter and show the Bulls they got some fight left in them. With that, Golden State used its home court advantage from the fans and was able to retake the lead. Five players from Golden State hit double digits in points. With four minutes left in the game, Gui Santos shoots a six-foot shot to give the Warriors the lead, 106-105. After the Warriors would push the lead to eight points entering the final minutes of the game. However, Chicago showed their intensity and came back from that eight points to send the game to overtime. After a questionable and tough call on Draymond Green, the Bulls’ Jalen Smith was sent to the line. Bulls were down 116-118, and Smith would make both of his shots to give us five more minutes of play time.

Bulls would score first in overtime from Matas Buzelis on a six-foot shot, giving them the early lead. Buzelis would make his presence heard in these extra minutes of play as he hit a clutch three-point shot, which gave energy and life to Chicago. With that and one minute left, the Bulls lead by five points, 129-124. The Warriors couldn’t make a shot in this overtime and killed their chances of winning the game. Chicago would finish the overtime with the lead and the game. The Bulls would win the game, 130-124.

Golden State will get a chance to rest up and learn from their mistakes as they come back to Chase Center on Friday night to host Minnesota at 7 p.m. on Prime Video. Chicago will continue their path in the west coast and see the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday, March 12th at 7:30 p.m.

That’s Amaury News and Commenary: Mediocrity is the word for the Warriors

Mediocerity is the word for the Warriors

By Amaury Pi-González

The Warriors walked into March with a 31-29 record, occupying the eighth and final playoff spot in the West. Their next five games are against the Clippers, Rockets, Thunder, Jazz, and Bulls. How this team is going to finish is anybody’s guess.

They just lost a game at Chase Center against the 41-year-old LeBron James, Lakers 129-101. Jimmy Butler is out for the season with a torn ACL. It typically takes 6-12 months for a full return, with 9 to 12 months for professional athletes to regain their full strength.

Stephen Curry also injured is missing games of late. His Right knee has patellofemoral pain syndrome (Runner’s Knee). When asked about the injury, he said one word,” weird.” Other Warriors medical situation, Seth Curry (sciatica) and the Jonathan Porzings saga is a totally disaster.

With just 22 games left, it doesn’t look like the Warriors are going to improve all of a sudden, even the postseason is at best a 50-50 proposition. They are currently sitting in the Western Conference’s eighth spot, aiming to avoid the play-in tournament and secure a top-six seed.

Just like the Giants, who play a few blocks away from Chase Center, the Warriors had a great run of championships winning in in 2015, 2017, 2018, and 2022. Every team suffers injuries; the Warriors are not alone; however, this season has always looked, to use Steph Curry’s previous word, “weird”.

#3 Can Brandin Podziemski and Moses Moody sustain offensive efficiency against Boston’s defense? Both Warriors wings have the skill to score, but how they match up with the Celtics’ defenders will be crucial.
