Stephen Curry had a game high 27 points, and even tied a record held by tonight's opponent James Harden by hitting at least four three-pointers in 13 consecutive games.
But it wasn't enough tonight against Brooklyn's "big 3."
There was a scare, then a sigh of relief earlier in the game involving Draymond Green.
The Warriors star left the court just before the first half ended, after going down after what at first looked like a routine landing.
He was able to walk to the locker room on his own, and then returned to play in the third quarter.
