Last night, the Golden State Warriors handily defeated the Brooklyn Nets, 117-99. The matchup between the two conference favorites was a highly-anticipated one, and the Warriors did not disappoint. Steph Curry continues his MVP season by scoring 37 points and collecting seven rebounds. The Warriors hold a firm lead in the Western Conference, while the Nets continue to fight for the top spot.
Another Western Conference team, the Utah Jazz, also won on Tuesday night. The Jazz defeated the Philadelphia 76ers, 120-85, and move to a record of 9-5. Both teams needed a win to stay relevant in their respective divisions, but the 76ers now fall to 8-7 after their fifth consecutive loss.
