The Game
The Brooklyn Nets vs. the Golden State Warriors game took place on November 16, 2021 in Barclays Center. Nets and Warriors fans alike were ecstatic. You could hear the screams from all around. The tension was in the air. Both teams and fans couldn’t wait, though many New Yorkers were disappointed that Kyrie Irving wasn't able to join the game. The Warriors cruised to a big win finishing 117 to 99. It was a sad day for Nets fans. With the Nets leading 34 to 31 after the first quarter, it looked promising for them. But from the second quarter on, it was clear that the Warriors were taking the game. It seemed many fans thought the Nets could have won if Irving was on the court.
