But after the Warriors' 105-89 win Wednesday, Radmanovic said what everyone else knew.

"No disrespect to the Nets, but ... "

Golden State (7-14) did what it had to do beat the worst team in the NBA. In the process, the Warriors snapped a four-game losing streak. And they had multiple contributors to the victory, creating much-needed good vibes in the locker room after guard Monta Ellis had little help in Monday's loss at Oklahoma City.

Ellis, for him, had a off night. He had scored at least 30 points in six of his past nine games. Wednesday, he missed his first nine shots and finished with 18 points on 7-for-20 shooting with five turnovers.

But center Mikki Moore picked up the slack, scoring a season-best 16 points to go with seven rebounds. Guard C.J. Watson scored 18 off the bench. Rookie guard Stephen Curry chipped in with 11 of his 14 in the first half, while Ellis was struggling.

"We had a lot of guys step up," said Ellis, who also had eight assists and four steals in 43 minutes. "We had a lot of guys who made a lot of great plays. Some nights, we're going to have a guy who's not playing well, and somebody else has to step up and do a little more. Tonight was a great show of that, of the talent we really have. Together if we keep grinding we can turn this thing around."

The Warriors took a 58-48 lead into the locker room after outscoring the Nets by 17 in the second quarter. Ellis had only two points in the quarter, but Watson scored 15, knocking down 7 of 8 shots.

The Warriors' lead was 43-40 at the 4:08 mark of the second quarter after a dunk by Nets center and Stanford product Brook Lopez, who finished with 21 points, 10 rebounds and six turnovers. But the Warriors' lead eventually reached 20.

They opened the third quarter with a 16-6 run. Moore had six points and an assist during the spurt, which Ellis capped with a steal and layup to give Golden State a 74-54 lead.

"You can always go to the well," assistant coach Keith Smart said of Moore. "I've known him for a long time. He played for me (in the CBA). I kind of trust what he does. I know who he is. One thing I have always liked about him, and on our team in particular: He's vocal. He's loud early, and he's loud often. And that helps the team because we've got a lot of quiet guys."

The Nets chiseled away at the lead. Over roughly the next 13 minutes, the Warriors turned the ball over seven times and shot 4-for-15 from the field. So after a fastbreak alley-oop from guard Devin Harris to Lopez, the Warriors' once 20-point advantage was down to 90-85.

That's when Ellis took over.

He made three baskets during a 10-2 Warriors run, which he capped by slipping a pass to Moore in the paint for a dunk, putting Golden State up 100-87, all but ending the Nets' comeback chance.
