Golden State closed out Brooklyn 109-106 as Gui Santos erupted for a career-high 31 points on 11-for-16 shooting and Brandin Podziemski added 22, with Draymond Green sinking two clutch free throws with 6.9 seconds left to seal the victory and clinch a Warriors play‑in berth (Warriors now 35-38). (espn.ph) Reserve wing Gary Payton II was a spark off the bench, finishing 5-for-5 for 10 points and throwing down a highlight dunk while NBCS reported he had made his last 16 shots entering that game. (nbcsportsbayarea.com) The Nets extended their skid to nine straight losses and sit at 17-56 on the season, a campaign marked by subpar perimeter shooting — Brooklyn’s team 3‑point percentage this year is roughly 34.2%, 28th in the league. (cbssports.com) Golden State managed the comeback despite sloppy ball security, tying a season high with 26 turnovers, while the Santos‑Podziemski duo combined for 53 of the Warriors’ points to carry a depleted rotation. (nbcsportsbayarea.com) The win sets Golden State up to host the Washington Wizards on Friday while Brooklyn travels to Los Angeles to face the Lakers, leaving the Warriors two games below.500 as they jockey for position in the Western Conference.
