  • Golden State beat San Antonio 125-120 behind Stephen Curry’s 46 points, snapping a six-game road losing streak to move to 7-6.
  • Moses Moody and rookie Will Richard started in a rotation shake-up, and Moody added 19 points as the change produced immediate on-court results.
  • Jonathan Kuminga came off the bench, logged 12 first-half minutes, then was ruled out with knee soreness.
  • Victor Wembanyama recorded a triple-double and Stephon Castle also posted one, but the Spurs suffered their first home loss of the season.
  • The Warriors hit 21 threes and went 32-of-36 at the line, a decisive edge as they look to address recent defensive slippage and internal critiques, with a rematch set for Friday in San Antonio.
