After the Golden State Warriors vaulted to an early lead, the Brooklyn Nets surged back into Saturday’s primetime contest behind Kyrie Irving. With Irving pushing the Nets into a battle, the Warriors needed a clutch bucket in the fourth quarter to seal a victory.
On Saturday, a vintage Klay Thompson jumper from beyond the arc helped close out the Nets.
With the Warriors clinging to a one-point advantage with just seconds remaining, Steph Curry flipped a pass to Thompson. After getting the ball, the 31-year-old shooting guard quickly pulled up to bury a deep triple with 12 seconds left in the contest.
