On Thursday night, theΒ Golden State WarriorsΒ staged a dramaticΒ NBAΒ comeback against theΒ Brooklyn Nets, overcoming aΒ 27-5 deficitΒ to secure a thrilling 121-119 victory.
The defining takeaway forΒ Draymond Green? The Warriorsβ new mindset in the face of adversity.
βThe one thing that impressed me most is we were down 27-5 andΒ I looked over and nobody blinked,βΒ Green told reporters at Barclays Center.Β βEverybody was just like, βAll right, here we go. Letβs figure it out.β And we did that.β
The Warriors pulled off their second comeback win in New York in just three nights. On Tuesday, theyΒ erased a 10-point deficit to beat the Knicks by 12 at Madison Square Garden.
Their sluggish start against the Nets was one of their worst this season, butΒ they responded with a championship-caliber second quarter, outscoringΒ BrooklynΒ 40-25.
Stephen Curry leads the charge
Golden Stateβs rally was fueled by yet another dominant performance from Stephen Curry, who has been on an incredible scoring tear.
TheΒ two-time MVP finished with 40 points, four rebounds, and four assists. He had strong support from Jimmy Butler, who contributedΒ 25 points, six assists, and three steals.
The Warriors also got a significant boost from their bench, which played a key role in the comeback effort.

Steve Kerr already focused on next challenge
Up next for theΒ WarriorsΒ is a crucial matchup against the Detroit Pistons, aΒ team with an identical record but playing in the Eastern Conference.
Despite Detroitβs struggles in recent seasons, head coach Steve Kerr sees this as a true test for his squad.
βWell, itβs a quick turnaround,βΒ Kerr said.Β βWeβre spending the night, flying home tomorrow, andΒ then playing a 5:30 [p.m. PT] game on Saturday. Really difficult schedule playing against a really hot team in Detroit.β
βI imagine that will be a very tough game.Β I hope we can respond quickly coming off a long flight and a long trip, but all in all, Iβm looking forward toΒ being home for a couple of weeks and seeing my dog. Thatβs the main thing.β
What this game means against Detroit
In past seasons, a home stretch against the Pistons might not have been considered a major challenge. However, Detroit isΒ now the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference, having won 10 of their last 12 games.
Rising star Cade Cunningham has been instrumental during that stretch, averagingΒ 25.1 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 9.2 assists over his last 11 appearances.
For the Warriors, this matchup will serve as a benchmarkβa chance to prove whether their recent resurgence is truly sustainableΒ as they continue their push toward theΒ NBAΒ playoffs.
