The victory wrapped up a successful 4-1 east coast road trip, keeping the Warriors competitive in a tightly contested Western Conference. Coach Kerr's preference for playing both New York teams proved somewhat vindicated, despite the challenges posed by Brooklyn's tenacious play.
The Warriors needed to scratch and claw to beat Tyrese Martin and the plucky Nets, surviving a near-collapse in the final minute.
