SAN FRANCISCO — Dennis Schroder scored 31 points, Cam Thomas added 23, and the undermanned Brooklyn Nets rallied to beat Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors 128-120 on Monday night.
Curry made a 3-pointer with 3:26 left and pulled the Warriors within three, but Golden State couldn’t make the crucial stops and squandered an 18-point lead. Curry scored 28, and Andrew Wiggins added 18 points.
Schroder’s 3 with 11:10 remaining tied the game at 92, and he put his team ahead with another at the 9:43 mark.
Jalen Wilson had 18 points for the short-handed Nets in a road back-to-back after a 108-103 win at Sacramento a night earlier.
Schroder missed Sunday’s game at Sacramento with right ankle soreness but returned for Brooklyn, which jumped ahead 9-2 before a Warriors timeout and ensuing run got the home team going.
The Warriors, coming off a 10-point loss at San Antonio on Saturday, dropped to 5-2 at home and 12-5 overall.

Warriors: The Warriors totaled 47 bench points even though Jonathan Kuminga missed his second straight game with an illness.
Key Moments
