Kyrie went on a soliloquy about how much he respects Steph.

Kyrie Irving said the late foul call on him could’ve gone either way, but he did see on replay that his foot was in the way and he inadvertently tripped Klay Thompson.

Incredibly frustrating to go 5-1 in NBA tonight with lone loser a 5% play on GSW/Nets total. News of no Harden came awfully late and to hear hand has been an issue he’s been dealing with but hadn’t reported because he thought it was no big deal is lame. Goes down as an L.

The Nets tanking to get out of home court advantage in the playoffs so Irving can play is one of the most amazing things in the history of the league. – 11:26 PM Matt Steinmetz @SteinmetzNBA
Sickening ending to Nets-Warriors. Put Klay on line for two or give Nets ball down 1 in backcourt after turnover. – 11:25 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron

Why didn’t Steve Nash challenge that late foul call on Kyrie Irving? Hesitates. “I’ll get someone in trouble if I say why…A little bird said don’t challenge it.” Said refs told him it was “100 percent” a foul. #Nets #Warriors – 11:20 PM Dave Early @DavidEarly

Steve Nash is “hopeful” James Harden will play in Phoenix. Isn’t sure on LaMarcus Aldridge. Said he doesn’t think James Johnson’s ankle is bad given he was able to finish the game. – 11:14 PM StatMuse @statmuse

He has missed 95 of his last 135 threes. pic.twitter.com/v1USv479u5 – 11:14 PM Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Nash said he was told by the officials that it was absolutely a foul by Kyrie on Klay at the end. That is why he chose not to challenge the play. – 11:13 PM Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
Injured Nets guard James Harden was moving his injured right hand in a rotating fashion left to right as if he was trying to stretch it out as he walked into the locker room post game. – 11:13 PM Stefan Bondy @SBondyNYDN

Laborious but successful seven-game homestand for the Warriors: 6-1 record. Only loss was to a Pacers team without its starters. Steph Curry struggled to find his shot. No Draymond Green. Klay Thompson gaining a rhythm. Depth/defense continues to show. Great week for Wiggins. – 11:08 PM Brooklyn Nets @BrooklynNets

Final: Warriors beat the Nets 110-106. Weird game with a weird ending. We’ll ask Nash about challenging that call on Kyrie Irving. Irving had 32 points tonight and carried BK down the stretch. We’ll see about all the injuries as well. – 11:07 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Kessler Edwards looks like a keeper. – 10:51 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
I have to assume that as soon as the Nets clear a roster spot, they’ll convert Kessler Edwards from his Two-Way deal to a standard deal. They need him and he isn’t playoff-eligible on a Two-Way. – 10:49 PM Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Kessler Edwards chased Stephen Curry around screens and prevented him from getting the ball, then switched onto Kevon Looney and blocked him at the rim. Impressive performance from the rookie, who is bringing the 3-and-D dynamic this Nets team has needed all season. – 10:47 PM Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Kessler Edwards has missed three at the rim tonight that he should have had. – 10:47 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Patty Mills drills a corner 3 and then finds James Johnson the next time down to tie the game at 93 with 6:17 left. Golden State calls timeout. Completely forgot Kenny Atkinson is on their staff. – 10:37 PM Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Timeout, Warriors: Patty Mills hits a 3, James Johnson gets a transition bucket and we’ve got a tie game, 93 apiece, with 6:17 to go in the 4th quarter. Kyrie Irving’s got 27 points and the Warriors are sending extra bodies at him. If he keeps getting help, the Nets can win this. – 10:37 PM Brooklyn Nets @BrooklynNets

Looked like James Johnson turned his ankle a little bit a couple minutes ago — he came out of the game and was in the tunnel doing some defensive slides to loosen it up. He just checked back in for Brown. – 10:35 PM Brooklyn Nets @BrooklynNets

Kyrie trying to pull the Nets back into this one down the stretch. He’s got 25 points and just drove right by Klay for two more. The Nets bench is into it now — everybody is standing up on the side. The momentum has turned. – 10:19 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
After taking a 72-53 lead with 7:20 left, the Warriors give up a 19-4 run to let the Nets back within 4. Would help Golden State a lot of Steph Curry or Klay Thompson could knock down a shot. – 10:19 PM Mark Medina @MarkG_Medina
Love or loathe Kyrie, he sure knows how to play. Making clutch 3’s. Driving baseline past Klay. Keeping the underhanded Nets in the game. – 10:19 PM Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Kyrie Irving is now up to 25 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists and has powered an incredible run here in the third quarter. – 10:18 PM Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Kyrie Irving’s got back-to-back 3s, and this one’s a 4-point play. Irving is on fire here at the end of the third quarter and the Nets have made this a two-possession game. – 10:17 PM Nick DePaula @NickDePaula

Stephen Curry hasn’t gone more than a few minutes without shaking or rubbing his right hand. Has 5 points in 21 minutes, on 2/9 shooting.
Warriors 74, Nets 56, 5:50 Q3 – 10:07 PM Ky Carlin @Ky_Carlin
Doc Rivers liked the way Seth Curry played tonight. He said he let the game come to him. It was tough for him to get into a rhythm with the team canceling shootaround this morning. #Sixers – 10:05 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

If Brooklyn loses tonight at Golden State, the first-round draft pick they owe the #Rockets will go from #23 to #21, and Dallas will be a half-game behind them.
The Nets have had issues this year. It’s not impossible for this pick to finish in the late teens. – 9:53 PM Michael Lee @MrMichaelLee
You can mock Andrew Wiggins’ All-Star starter selection but can’t question how much GSW has been the best move for his career. Being in an environment/culture built around joy & playing with Steph has removed the burden of being a cornerstone. All he has to do is show up & hoop. – 9:53 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

HALFTIME: Warriors up 54-47 on the Nets. Wiggins (17 points on 7-for-11 shooting) doing the heavy lifting as Steph Curry (2 points on 1-for-7 shooting) and Klay Thompson (5 points on 1-for-6 shooting) struggle mightily. – 9:39 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Steph Curry, Klay Thompson go a combined 2/13 shooting in the first half, but defense remains steady, Andrew Wiggins and Jordan Poole combine for 27 points and Warriors lead Nets 54-47. – 9:39 PM Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
Halftime: Warriors lead the Nets 54-47. Brooklyn rallied to take the lead but fell off towards the end of the second quarter. The Splash Brothers have been relatively quiet. Is that sustainable? Nets offense seems patchy to me. Needs to find a rhythm. – 9:39 PM Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
HALFTIME: Warriors 54, Nets 47
Some valiant runs by the Nets, who were powered by 11 each from Kyrie Irving and Patty Mills, but the Warriors have a lot of firepower. Steph Curry & Klay Thompson are just 2-of-13 combined, but Andrew Wiggins is 7/11 for 17 points. – 9:38 PM Brooklyn Nets @BrooklynNets

After seizing a 13-point lead early in the second quarter, the Warriors gave up a 19-4 to dig a 2-point hole. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson are a combined 2-for-13 from the field. – 9:28 PM Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Steph and Klay are a combined 2-for-13. Nets are hanging in there — they are outscoring Warriors 16-4 on 2nd chance points. – 9:27 PM Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Timeout, Warriors: The Nets have come back to take a 41-39 lead here at the Chase Center. Patty Mills missed his first 5 threes but made 3 out of 4 and now has 11 points. The Nets have found balance here in the 2nd quarter: Their efficiency & rebounds are up, turnovers are down. – 9:26 PM Brian Lewis @NYPost_Lewis

Andrew Wiggins with a All-Star-statement first quarter: 14 points, 6/9 FG, 2/3 3p, a rousing folo slam, 5 rebounds, 2 blocks, 2 steals and generally stellar defense
Warriors 31, Nets 20 – 9:10 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
END OF Q1: Warriors up 31-20 on the Nets. Really nice first quarter from Wiggins, who has 14 points on 6-for-9 shooting, five rebounds, two steals and two blocks. – 9:09 PM Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
The Nets have an eFG of 34% in the first quarter. No wonder they only have 20 points. – 9:09 PM Brooklyn Nets @BrooklynNets

#Nets coughed up an 18-5 run, and trail 31-20 after one. They’ve shot just .318 against the #warriors defense, and 1-of-7. Patty Mills is 0-for-5 from the floor. – 9:09 PM Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
End of the first quarter: Warriors lead the Nets 31-20. Andrew Wiggins has 14 points and is putting on a show. Kyrie Irving with just five points and Nic Claxton with seven. Awful first quarter for Brooklyn offensively. Shot 32 percent from the field, 1-for-7 from 3. – 9:08 PM Kristian Winfield @Krisplashed
Andrew Wiggins’ head was at the top of the box for that putback dunk and it punctuated a quarter where he’s got 14 points and 5 rebounds.
The Warriors are up 31-20, as expected, against a Nets team without Kevin Durant, James Harden and Joe Harris. – 9:08 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Big first quarter for Andrew Wiggins: 14 points, five rebounds, 6/9 FG, hit a couple 3s, closed the quarter with a one-hand putback dunk. Warriors up 31-20 on the Nets. – 9:08 PM Brooklyn Nets @BrooklynNets

Mills, Johnson, Thomas, Aldridge and Brown are the Nets’ second string tonight. – 9:07 PM Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Rough first quarter for Nets without Harden. Kyrie is just 1-for-3 — and got a lot of boos after being introduced.
Patty Mills is 0-for-5. Nets just 6/20 from the field and 1-for-7 from beyond the arc. Not a lot of answers offensively. – 9:06 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Lot of places to blame for that first half (pretty much anyone but Harris and Green), but Maxey and Curry got cooked by Mitchell and Haliburton.
Korkmaz lost Haliburton off ball for a 3, too. Guard defense isn’t a strength of this team but that was particularly rough. – 8:34 PM Alex Schiffer @Alex__Schiffer
