Recap: Golden State vs. Brooklyn
Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson found their rhythm in the second half and commanded the floor.

Curry netted 25 points, while Thompson added 23 for the Warriors, who have won four of their past five games. Both players had 19 points apiece over the final 24 minutes.

David Lee recorded 20 points, 13 rebounds and six assists in the triumph.
