Oakland’s golden team, the Golden State Warriors, led by Coach Steve Kerr and two-time MVP Stephen Curry, soared over the Denver Nuggets in a 124-114 win Monday night at the Oracle. The Nuggets were no rollover team. They fought up until the last minute, but the Warriors won by their excessive ball movement and signature style of play.

Draymond Green had his best scoring game of the season with 23 points scored, 5 rebounds, 10 assists, and 3 blocks. Klay Thompson also had an effective role in the Warriors win Monday night going for 19 points at 50 percent from behind the 3-point line making three of his six attempted shots.

With Kevin Durant on the bench and Steph Curry playing, the opposite scenario of the last time these two teams met, due to Curry’s ankle injury then and Durant’s right calf strain now. When Kerr was asked about Durant’s return, he said, “He’ll play when he feels right.”

Coach Kerr went on to talk about the team’s overall performance saying “I thought the team played ‘their’ game, although Steph didn’t play his best.” Steph, who had 32 points, 5-of-10, from 3-point range and 9-of-17 overall, said during his postgame interview “I love being held to a high standard, it’s what pushes me to keep improving.”

Monday night’s game, which happened to be Klay Thompson bobblehead night at the Oracle, also happened to be David West’s 1,000th game played, making him the 127th player ever to do so.

Alameda County

Oakland Acquisition Company’s Acquisition of County’s Interest in Coliseum Property on the Verge of Completion

The Board of Supervisors is committed to closing the deal expeditiously, and County staff have worked tirelessly to move the deal forward on mutually agreeable terms. The parties are down to the final details and, with the cooperation of OAC and Coliseum Way Partners, LLC, the Board will take a public vote at an upcoming meeting to seal this transaction.

Special to The Post

The County of Alameda announced this week that a deal allowing the Oakland Acquisition Company, LLC, (“OAC”) to acquire the County’s 50% undivided interest in the Oakland- Alameda County Coliseum complex is in the final stages of completion.

Oakland has already finalized a purchase and sale agreement with OAC for its interest in the property. OAC’s acquisition of the County’s property interest will achieve two longstanding goals of the County:

The Oakland-Alameda Coliseum complex will finally be under the control of a sole owner with capacity to make unilateral decisions regarding the property; and
The County will be out of the sports and entertainment business, free to focus and rededicate resources to its core safety net

In an October 2024 press release from the City of Oakland, the former Oakland mayor described the sale of its 50% interest in the property as an “historic achievement” stating that the transaction will “continue to pay dividends for generations to come.”

The Board of Supervisors is pleased to facilitate single-entity ownership of this property uniquely centered in a corridor of East Oakland that has amazing potential.

“The County is committed to bringing its negotiations with OAC to a close,” said Board President David Haubert.
