FOURTH QUARTER

** Gotta bounce, so I’ll leave with this: If the Warriors hold on, this will be the first time, post-Jackson, where they’ve won without a superhuman effort from Monta Ellis. In the other three victories since the trade, Ellis has scored 34, 37 and 45 points.

** Corey Maggette with the strong rebound, but then loses the ball off his foot. Oy.

** @BklnWarrior: I thought about adding something like, “Not that the Warriors would know this,” but it just seemed gratuitous. Certainly, I do think the Nets right now are inferior to the Warriors.

** Anthony Randolph is playing the most under-control game of his Warriors career, and looking great because of that fact.

** Warning in advance: I may have to bail early to head down to the CSN Bay Area studios for tonight’s taping of Chronicle Live. Stay tuned to CSN at 8 p.m. for your trusty scribe in (hopefully) low-def.

THIRD QUARTER

** Warriors didn’t look great, but they still build their lead by another point. That’s the way good teams beat inferior ones.

** @michaeld: Curry’s D tonight has been an improvement over his past performances, but that’s a pretty low bar to clear.

** @Gill: Good to see we both need proofreaders.

** Yes, the Nets are making a push, but they still haven’t made up any ground compared to halftime, and this has become scramble ball — and the Warriors excel in that arena.

** No surprise, given that they’re on the latter half of a back-to-back, but the Nets are mentally just curling up into the fetal position, like so many Shrinky Dinks in a hot oven, and hoping that the pain stops sometime soon.

** Mikki Moore gets his second free bucket after Lopez has to try to cover a teammate’s sins, defensively. After the same thing happened to them repeatedly last seaosn, Andris Biedrins and Ronny Turiaf can feel Lopez’s pain.

SECOND QUARTER

** The Warriors’ three bench players — Watson, Randolph and Corey Maggette — are a combined 13-for-17 with eight steals, six rebounds and four assists. Maggette +21, Randolph +18, Watson +17.

** Watson is just destroying the Nets, defensively. It’s frankly comical.

** It’s really criminal how bad the Nets are at getting Lopez the ball. Chris Douglas-Roberts just threw an entry pass that was 2 feet off target — and, not coindicentally, stolen.

** Somebody should tell Kiki Vandeweghe that he can stop play, if he so desires.

** Again, it will be a good thing when the Warriors get fully healthy so they can put Randolph — block at one end, offensive rebound save and putback three-point play on the other — back on the bench. (Disengage “sarcasm” tag.)

** C.J. Watson finally gets his dunk on.

** Yeah, there’s no reason to play Anthony Randolph.

** With Monta playing the kind of defense he has been this year, the tough fit between Ellis and Curry has become more of a problem at the offensive end. Both guys need to initiate to score, and there’s only one ball per possession.

FIRST QUARTER

** C.J. Watson got posterized while TRYING to dunk, rather than defending one. That’s bad for the ego.

** Remember the talk heading into the 2008 draft that Robin Lopez was going to be a better player than Brook? Yeah, that turned out to not even be a little bit correct.

** This is how things go for the Warriors on the road: C.J. Watson launches a free-throw line teardrop over a fast-closing Brook Lopez. Mikki Moore steams down the wide-open lane in search of a rebound, but the ball caroms off in the only direction where it can reach a Net.

** As advertised, Lopez is too much for the Warriors to handle. The ward-off-Vlad-Radmanovic-with-one-hand-while-gobbling-up-the-rebound-with-the-other play is always good for a laugh.

** I was surprised that Devin Harris didn’t look to tear up Curry more on defense; now that Harris has been sent to the locker room via Mikki Moore pimp-slap, it might be too late.

** It’s good to see Stephen Curry have some more success shooting the ball of late, but to hang the “great shooter” tag a guy who’s sixth in eFG% (and seventh in TS%) out of 11 players on the team with 100 minutes played seems a little ridiculous.

PREGAME

** The Brook Lopez vs. the Liliputians battle should be hilarious.
