Warriors take a blow to the Nets and lose for the first time in a row of the season
The Golden State Warriors suffered a blow to the Brooklyn Nets and fell into a losing streak despite Stephen Curry’s great performance.
On November 26th, Korean time, the Warriors defeated the Nets 128-120 in the 2024-25 NBA regular season home game held at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
With this loss, the Warriors, who suffered their first consecutive loss of the season, fell to 12 wins and 5 losses on the season, falling from first place in the Western Conference. At the same time, the Oklahoma City Thunder, who defeated the Sacramento Kings, took the lead in the Western Conference with 13 wins.
On this day, the Warriors had a great performance with 28 points as Ace Curry poured out eight 3-point shots, but the Nets’ Dennis Schroder, who took control of the game in the fourth quarter, gave the game away by scoring 9 points and 2 assists in a one-man show.
Cam Thomas, who was recently crowned as the Nets’ ace, played only 23 minutes due to an injury, but Schroder’s performance in the second half of the game, along with scores from Zaire Williams and Jaylen Wilson, helped them overcome the Warriors. On this day, Schroeder finished the game as the top scorer with 31 points, followed by Williams with 19 points and Wilson with 18 points.
The Nets, who won this difficult expedition, improved their season record to 8 wins and 10 losses, taking a step forward toward reaching a .500 win rate.
‘Defending champion’ Celtics beat the Clippers and won 6 games in a row
The Boston Celtics showed off a performance worthy of the defending champions and achieved a huge win at home.
On November 26th, Korean time, at TD Garden in Boston, the Celtics defeated the LA Clippers 126-94 and won their sixth game in a row.
The best news for the Celtics, who continued their upward trend on this day with as many as six players scoring in double digits, was that Kristaps Porzingis played his first game of the season. Porzingis played as the starting center on this day and showed good performance in offense and defense with 16 points, 6 rebounds, and 2 blocks while playing for about 22 minutes.

Aside from Porzingis, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Peyton Pritchard all played their roles and led the team to victory. In particular, Pritchard, who has recently been rapidly growing into the team’s solid sixth man, hit a whopping six 3-point shots. He did so and scored 20 points.
On this day, the Celtics showed off their high-end archery basketball and scored as many as 22 3-point shots. In particular, the Clippers had no way to stop the Celtics’ powerful firepower, which scored 51 points in the second quarter alone.
The Clippers, who lost the game, lost significantly in the firepower battle even though Ivica Zubac recorded a double-double with 23 points and 10 rebounds, and James Harden came close to a triple-double with 19 points, 8 rebounds, and 9 assists. It was very disappointing that Norman Powell, who led the team’s offense this season with an average of 23.2 points, was absent.
With this loss, the Clippers’ recent 5-game winning streak was put on hold.
