Mike Dunleavy’s layup to start the fourth boosted Golden State to an eight-point advantage, but the Nets responded in a big way. Bostjan Nachbar’s layup tied the game at 88 with 8:14 left and his free throw gave the Nets the lead for good less than two minutes later.

It was tight throughout most of the second quarter, but the Warriors established a 53-49 lead at the break thanks to seven straight points to end the half. Dunleavy had 12 points and Matt Barnes 11 for the Warriors, while Krstic had a huge first 24 minutes with 20 points and seven boards.
