Golden State Warriors vs. Brooklyn Nets: Winners

Andrew Wiggins

Andrew Wiggins has turned into the player Minnesota wished he could be. He’s shooting efficiently, and he’s oftentimes one of the best defenders on the court. His skill was on full display Tuesday evening.

He was 7-for-11 from the field with 19 points. He was 2-for-3 from deep and 3-for-3 from the free-throw line. With four fouls, Wiggins did sit much of the third, but his efficiency and impact were already well established at that point.

Stephen Curry

As we mentioned prior, Curry cooked. He had 37 and 9 threes. He also had two steals. His one near-charge attempt also helped electrify the Warriors, showing what type of leader he is. It was one of Curry’s best games of the season.

Draymond Green

Draymond Green’s scoring was actually needed on Tuesday. He ended with 11 points on 5-for-6 shooting. He chipped in 8 assists and 6 rebounds as well. While it’s easy to take Green’s impact for granted, this was a complete effort from the three-time MVP.

Jonathan Kuminga

No. 7 overall pick Jonathan Kuminga got some run. He ended with 7 points and 6 rebounds on 3-for-6 shooting. His impact was positive, and in a game of this magnitude, that’s certainly something to make note of.
