NEW YORK (AP) ― Joe Johnson scored 27 points in the Brooklyn Nets’ season-high fourth straight victory, a 102-98 win Wednesday night that snapped the Golden State Warriors’ 10-game winning streak and prevented the first 7-0 road trip in NBA history.
Kevin Garnett scored 11 of his 13 points, one of his best efforts in a Brooklyn uniform, in the final quarter and stole Stephen Curry’s pass with the Warriors down three in the final half-minute.
Shaun Livingston made the tiebreaking free throw with 1:12 left when he appeared to get away with hooking Curry, then Johnson made four in a row for just enough breathing room to allow the Nets to remain unbeaten in 2014.
Curry scored 34 points for the Warriors, who were bidding for a franchise-record 11th consecutive victory overall and the first unbeaten road trip of seven or more games in NBA history. But they didn’t make a field goal after Klay Thompson’s 3-pointer with 4:07 remaining that gave them a 93-89 lead until Curry’s jumper with 5.8 seconds to go.
Clippers 111, Celtics 105
Suns 104, Timberwolves 103
Trail Blazers 110, Magic 94
Spurs 112, Mavericks 90
Raptors 112, Pistons 91
Hawks 97, Pacers 87
Nets 102, Warriors 98
Wizards 102, Pelicans 96
Rockets 113, Lakers 99
