It had the symbolic value of getting the Nets into eighth place in the Eastern Conference, which really means nothing in January. Joe Johnson made sure this did not happen as he dropped 27 points on the Warriors-d and also added that with 3 rebounds and two steals. Kevin Garnett also had a good day coming up huge when they needed it. Garnett had 11 of his 13 points in the fourth quarter alone to keep the lead from the Warriors. He also intercepted Steph Curry's pass with 16 seconds left on the clock to instill the Nets victory.
