NBA Champs run away from slumping Nets
Warriors teach Brooklyn a lesson in closing out with late surge
The Nets spent the first three games of this five-game road trip lamenting missed opportunities and their inability to close out opponents.
Tuesday night in Oakland, they got a firsthand view of what a team that knows how to put opponents away looks like.
After toying with Brooklyn for the better part of two and a half quarters, the reigning NBA champion Golden State Warriors pulled away from the slumping Nets en route to a 114-101 victory in front of a sellout crowd of 19,596 at ORACLE Arena.
