Game Info: March 6, 2025 7:30PM EST @ Barclays Center
With great confidence, the Golden State Warriors are now in this matchup as they seem to have finally found their groove with two imported heavy performances on both ends of the court. The horseradishes have pretty much been a well-oiled machine offensively and tightened up defense. Meanwhile, Brooklyn, on the other hand, has also been facing struggles trying to find some answers and going through a rather bleak period with a wooden defense and very little reality-based scoring. They are at home and will need something big to resurrect some magic for them. A really hot team will be up against a really cold team in this pretty interesting matchup.
