Curry finished with 35 points and Durant 34 as
Golden State, after dominating most of the game, held on for its
fourth straight win.
D'Angelo Russell had 25 points and Caris LeVert 23 for the Nets,
who lost their second straight.
After a hoop by Durant had given the Warriors a 110-99 lead with
5:43 remaining, the Nets scored the next nine points to get
within two, holding Golden State scoreless for the next 4:01.
LeVert contributed two baskets to the spurt, including a
3-pointer.
But Durant ended the Golden State drought with his jumper, and
after Joe Harris misfired on a 3-pointer at the other end, Curry
gave the Warriors breathing room again with his seventh
3-pointer of the game.
Curry shot 7-for-15 from 3-point range and 11-for-26 overall for
the Warriors, who were playing consecutive road games at New
York and Brooklyn for the first time in their history.
Durant hit 11 of his 20 shots.
Klay Thompson added 18 points for the Warriors, who complete a
four-day, three-game trip Monday at Chicago.
Russell connected on five 3-pointers for a majority of his 25
points for the Nets, who lost to the Warriors for the seventh
straight time.
LeVert had four 3-pointers and shot 9-for-18 overall.
Allen Crabbe had 14 points, Spencer Dinwiddie 12 and Jarrett
Allen 11 for Brooklyn, which made 20 3-pointers and outscored
Golden State 60-33 from beyond the arc.
