Curry Scores 46 as Warriors Beat Spurs 125-120 to Halt Road Slide

A drastic lineup change powered a second-half turnaround after weeks of uneven play.

Overview

  • Stephen Curry poured in 46 points, including 22 in the third quarter, and is now one 40-point game shy of Michael Jordan’s post-30 record.
  • Steve Kerr started Moses Moody and rookie Will Richard, moving Jonathan Kuminga to the bench, and the new look helped snap a six-game road losing streak.
  • Jimmy Butler added 28 points with eight assists and Moody scored 19 as Golden State overcame a 16-point first-half deficit.
  • Victor Wembanyama logged a 31-14-10 triple-double and Stephon Castle posted 23-10-10 for San Antonio, which took its first home loss of the season.
  • Golden State won the math game by hitting 21 of 57 threes and 32 of 36 free throws while forcing 20 Spurs turnovers; Kuminga exited with knee soreness and a rematch comes Friday.
