Overview
- Golden State beat San Antonio 125-120 to move to 7-6, snapping a six-game road skid one night after a blowout loss in Oklahoma City.
- Steve Kerr started Moses Moody and rookie Will Richard over Jonathan Kuminga and Brandin Podziemski and said he will keep that group for the rematch.
- Stephen Curry erupted for 22 points in the third quarter on the way to 46, keying a 76-64 second-half surge with support from Jimmy Butler (28) and Moody (19).
- Victor Wembanyama (31 points, 15 rebounds, 10 assists) and Stephon Castle (23, 10, 10) posted triple-doubles, the first time two Spurs teammates did so in the same game.
- San Antonio’s 20 turnovers, including eight by Wembanyama, and a free-throw gap (Warriors 32-of-36; Spurs 14-of-16) proved decisive.
