Warriors comeback sparks
Golden State erased a 13‑point deficit on March 25 with Pat Spencer pouring in a career‑best 25‑point third quarter to ignite the comeback against Brooklyn. Analysts called Spencer “the lifeline” as the Nets’ season‑long three‑point woes and turnover issues cost them in the finish (youtube.com).
Official box scores credit Pat Spencer with 4 points (2‑for‑5), 3 rebounds and 3 assists in 15:14 of play — not a 25‑point third quarter — according to the box score. (RealGM ) Golden State closed the game 109‑106; Gui Santos scored a career‑high 31 and Draymond Green’s two free throws with 6.9 seconds left sealed the victory and clinched a play‑in spot for the Warriors. (AP News ) Game-level shooting and turnover splits show the Warriors went 36‑of‑68 (52.9%) and 9‑of‑27 (33.3%) on threes, while Brooklyn shot 39‑of‑81 (48.1%) and 12‑of‑33 (36.4%); Brooklyn committed 26 turnovers to Golden State’s 17 and surrendered 28 points off those turnovers. (ESPN ) Season metrics underline the recurring issues referenced in commentary: the Nets are near the bottom of the league in three‑point accuracy (about 34.1% on the season) and rank among the worst in turnovers per game (roughly 15.9), according to season stat aggregators. (StatMuse TeamRankings ) The defeat extended Brooklyn’s losing streak to nine games and left the Nets at 17‑56 on the year while Golden State improved to 35‑38 and locked up a play‑in berth with the result.
