Draymond Green added his trademark grit, sinking two clutch free throws with just 6.9 seconds left. “I knew I had to step up,” Green said postgame. “We’ve been fighting all year, and tonight was about finishing strong.”
Podziemski and Supporting Cast Step Up
Brandin Podziemski chipped in 22 points, six rebounds, and five assists, showcasing his versatility. Kristaps Porzingis contributed 17 points, while De’Anthony Melton scored 14, including key free throws in the final seconds.

The Warriors (35-38) snapped a home skid, winning their first game at Chase Center since returning from a grueling 2-4 road trip. The victory also clinched a play-in spot, keeping their postseason hopes alive.
Nets’ Struggles Continue
Brooklyn, meanwhile, dropped its ninth straight game. Ziaire Williams led the Nets with 19 points, while Jalen Wilson added 15 off the bench. Ben Saraf posted 14 points and seven rebounds, but the Nets faltered late, shooting just 8-for-20 in the fourth quarter.
Despite leading for much of the night, Brooklyn couldn’t withstand Golden State’s late surge. “We had control, but we didn’t execute down the stretch,” Nets coach Jacque Vaughn admitted.
Historic Sellout Streak
The Chase Center crowd witnessed history as the Warriors marked their 600th consecutive sellout, the sixth-longest streak in NBA history. The energy in the building proved vital as Golden State rallied in the final minutes.
What’s Next
The Nets will head to Los Angeles to face the Lakers on Friday, hoping to snap their losing streak against one of the league’s toughest opponents. Meanwhile, the Warriors will remain at home to host the Washington Wizards, aiming to build momentum and strengthen their position in the play-in race.
