Jermaine O'Neal helps lift Warriors over Nets

Jermaine O'Neal had season highs of 23 points and 13 rebounds to carry the load for an undermanned frontcourt, and the Golden State Warriors held off the Brooklyn Nets 93-86 Saturday night for their third straight victory since the break.

O'Neal shot 10 for 13 from the floor, and Draymond Green scored a career-best 18 points to go with 10 rebounds starting in David Lee's place.

Stephen Curry banked in a big 3-pointer in the final minute to finish with 17 points, and the Warriors won three games in a row for the first time since the Nets ended their 10-game winning streak on Jan. 8 in Brooklyn.

Deron Williams had 20 points and six assists, and Joe Johnson scored 15 points for Brooklyn, which made just 2 of 21 attempts from beyond the arc and committed 16 turnovers.
