The Golden State Warriors beat the Miami Heat 120-100 at Chase Center on Thursday, Nov. 5, 2026, for their sixth straight win since an 0-3 start, according to the Associated Press recap on ESPN. The night was also Klay Thompson's first game back in San Francisco as a visitor, and Stephen Curry passed an NBA scoring legend along the way. Here is the score, who scored and what is next, as of Nov. 6.

## What was the final score of Warriors vs. Heat?

Golden State won 120-100. Miami was outscored 26-9 during one stretch of the third quarter and could not recover, per the AP. The Warriors scored 38 points in that third quarter alone, up from 27 in the second, and held the Heat to 23.

The records now read 6-3 for Golden State and 3-6 for Miami, which was playing the second night of a back-to-back and its third stop on a five-game West Coast trip. The Warriors shot 39% from 3-point range (16 of 41), and the Heat's coach, Erik Spoelstra, called defending the arc "high on the priority list," according to the AP.

## How did Curry, Klay Thompson and Giannis play?

Curry finished with 29 points on 9-of-19 shooting with six 3-pointers. He started 1 for 8 and was 2 of 10 at halftime, then came alive in the third quarter. He just missed a fourth straight 30-point game because he rested once the result was settled, the AP reports. Yaxel Lendeborg added 17 points, eight rebounds and six assists. Draymond Green had a season-high 11 assists, and Georges Niang scored 13 off the bench.

Thompson scored 11 points on 3-of-10 shooting after a warm ovation before tipoff. The night before, he hit the winning 3-pointer with a second left in overtime for a 117-116 win at the Clippers, so this was a quieter follow-up. Giannis Antetokounmpo had 20 points and 14 rebounds, Davion Mitchell scored 22 with eight assists, and Bam Adebayo had 18 points and 10 rebounds. Andrew Wiggins, another former Warrior, scored two points on 1-of-6 shooting.

## What milestone did Curry reach?

With a 3-pointer at the 7:03 mark of the first quarter, Curry moved into 17th place on the NBA's career scoring list, passing Oscar Robertson, who finished with 26,710 points, per the AP. It is a quiet number next to the reunion, but it is the kind of line that shows up in record books.

## What did Klay Thompson say before the game?

Speaking to WPLG Local 10 after the Clippers win, Thompson said he hoped to keep the same flow "because I made a lot of buckets in that building," and added that "it's fun to beat up on old friends," according to Yahoo Sports. Yahoo's report, which was republished from Heavy, notes that he left Golden State in 2024 for Dallas, then joined Miami on a two-year, $11.5 million deal after a contract buyout. He won four titles with the Warriors, in 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2022.

## What is next for both teams?

- **Warriors:** host the Orlando Magic on Saturday night, Nov. 7.
- **Heat:** visit the Sacramento Kings on Sunday, Nov. 8.
- **Where to watch:** the Thursday game aired on NBA TV, per ESPN. Check your local listings for Saturday's game, since we have not confirmed which U.S. channel carries it.

## Our take

This is analysis. The headline is the reunion, but the more useful number for Warriors fans is the winning streak. Starting 0-3 and then winning six in a row suggests the early losses were a slow start and not a bigger problem, though nine games is a small sample. Curry's first-half struggles are a reminder that a 1-for-8 start can turn into 29 points in one quarter. For Miami, the 3-6 record and the third-quarter collapse are the more pressing storyline than anything about Thompson's scoring night.
