Photo from Jerry Feitelberg: Jerry Feitelberg is all smiles before opening day in the San Francisco Giants pressbox at Oracle Park in San Francisco April 7, 2023 before the Giants faced the visiting Kansas City Royals.

We at Sports Radio Service are sad to report the passing of Jerry Feitelberg our colleague, friend and reporter since 2000. Jerry had started out as an owner and pharmacist for Good Neighbor Pharmacy in Alameda.

Jerry retired from being a pharmacist in the early 2000s and went to work as an assistant trainer for the Oakland A’s under head trainer Barry Weinberg. After Jerry’s tenure on the A’s medical team he joined us at Sports Radio Service as a reporter doing analysis, podcasting, hosting remotes and sitting down to interview some of the well known journalists and athletes.

Jerry was 86 and he battled with health issues the last three years but tried as best as he could to get back to doing what he loved best and that was writing and podcast sports. One note should be taken of how driven he was while in the hospital this last year one of regular podcasters needed time off of an assignment and while in the hospital and under doctors care Jerry said he would do the podcast from his hospital room and didn’t miss a beat and did the podcast as if he wasn’t ailing at all. If it’s any comfort Jerry said he enjoyed just getting back on to do a recording again. It did his heart wonders.

Rest In Peace Jerry our good friend and colleague you’ve done well and your well loved in the sports and journalism community. You’ll be missed.

He will be forever loved and remembered by all who knew him, but especially by his 2 daughters, Jennifer and Amy, and their partners, Tim and Eden. He would like any donations made in his name to go to Boston Latin School.

Charlie O who podcasted Jerry’s tribute worked side by side with Jerry during Jerry’s time as a podcaster and beat writer during the Oakland A’s years.

Golden State Warriors game wrap: Warriors just get by Nets 121-119 at Barclay Center

Published on by Sports Radio ServiceLeave a comment

Golden State Warrior guard Stephen Curry (30) led with 40 points against the Brooklyn Nets at Barclay Center in Brooklyn on Thu Mar 6, 2025

By Jessica Kwong

BROOKLYN, NY. — Stephen Curry scored 40 points against the Brooklyn Nets for the first time in 25 career games against them and led the Golden State Warriors to a 121-119 victory at Barclays Center on Thursday night.

It wasn’t until after the Warriors got the win that put them 4-1 in the five-game road trip that Curry realized his accomplishment – one that puts him one step away from a new personal record.

“Naw I didn’t know until after. When I had 38, two people came up and said, get a layup or something, but they didn’t say why,” said Curry. “I found out after.”

Golden State trailed 27-5 early on and Curry changed the tide by making a fadeaway buzzer-beater from the Nets’ half court logo at the end of the first half. Some of his teammates were only slightly surprised that it went in.

“He just had one in Orlando, so I think every shot’s going in anyway,” said Gary Payton II. “So let’s head into the locker room, regroup, let’s come back out for the second half. And you know, he gives us those sparks at the end of the half. And we needed that win so, it’s nice.”

The Warriors started the second half only five points behind and outscored the Nets 31-29 in the third quarter and 35-30 in the fourth. Head coach Steve Kerr called it a “very professional win to come back from 22 down right out of the gates”.

“I give them credit, they were just amazing that first quarter,” Kerr said of the Nets. “They took it to us and so for our guys to get settled and make a good comeback and take control of the game late, it was a hell of an effort and a great trip.”

Jimmy Butler contributed 25 points and six assists. The Warriors are 10-1 since he joined the lineup, and the chemistry they had with him in their 114-102 victory over the New York Knicks on Tuesday at Madison Square Garden continued at Barclays Center.

Brooklyn trailed 97-91 with 7:30 to go in the game and were unable to close in. The Nets (21-41) suffered their sixth straight loss as the crowd chanted “MVP! MVP! MVP!” for Curry, making it feel like a home game for Golden State.

The Warriors (35-28) head back to Chase Center for a seven-game homestand that starts on Saturday hosting the Detroit Pistons. That happens to be the only team in the league that Curry has not scored at least 40 points against.

“He’s got one more, one more on the hit list and then he has everybody,” Payton said. “So hopefully we get that done for him.”

Asked if he will aim to get the job done against Detroit, Curry answered humbly.

“You know – maybe you don’t know me. I don’t ever think that way. I play the game the way I want to,” he said. “Obviously it’s on my mind so I won’t shy away from it, but you don’t sabotage a game just to score 40. You try to win, no matter what it takes.”

Asked if Curry will make the milestone on Saturday, Draymond Green laughed and said: “Let’s not piss the Pistons off.”

Tip-off on Saturday is at 5:30 p.m. PT.

Golden State Warriors game wrap: Curry leads Golden State with 28 in win over Knicks 114-102

NEW YORK, NY. — The Golden State Warriors beat the New York Knicks 114-102 on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden led by Stephan Curry, who notched his 10th consecutive victory and a 12-1 record at the historic venue.

Curry, who returned to the floor despite right ankle soreness, finished with 28 points and nine assists in 33 minutes.

Golden State’s shots were not going in for much of the first half, but they fought for possessions and Warriors head coach Steve Kerr credited the win in large part to Jimmy Butler.

Butler scored 13 of his 19 points in the second half. The Warriors are 9-1 in 10 games that Butler has played with them.

“I give him and all of our guys a lot of credit because they’re finding a new identity and it’s fun to watch them find it,’ said Kerr.

The Warriors and Knicks were even throughout the first quarter, with the Knicks finishing ahead 26-25.

The defining moment of the game was when Curry and the Knicks’ Jalen Brunson re-entered the game with 6:33 left to go and Golden State went on a 11-0 run in four minutes, to boost their lead up to 105-93 with 2:30 left in the game.

Brandin Podziemski also scored 19 points and Draymond Green had eight points, nine rebounds and eight assists on the day he turned 35.

“The energy and camaraderie I think is essential, I would say it looks different because we’re winning a lot more,” said Podziemski. “Jimmy is a different player than what we had and so he just adds a different element to our group that we didn’t have.”

Golden State (34-28) won their second straight game after beating the Charlotte Hornets on Monday, and snapped the Knicks’ (40-21) three-game winning streak.The Warriors are 3-1 in their five-game trip and have won 12 of their last 14 games at the Garden.

Curry relished in the moment of his new milestone at MSG.

“It’s Madison Square Garden, it speaks for itself. This is a place that naturally has great, unique basketball energy and like the fans are unreal like the who’s who’s celebrity row all that, but just everybody’s anticipating great basketball and from my first game here in college to now like it’s always delivered,” he said.

“So for us in the Western Conference we only get once chance here, so we try to make the most of it.”

The Warriors continue their road trip on Thursday facing the Brooklyn Nets at Barclays Center. Tip-off is at 4:30 p.m. PT.
