Curry Scores 46 as Warriors Rally Past Spurs in San Antonio

The 46-point outburst moves Stephen Curry within one game of Michael Jordan's post-30 record for 40-point performances.

Overview

  • Golden State won 125-120 on Nov. 12 after trailing early, with Curry scoring 29 after halftime, including 22 in the third quarter, while hitting 5-of-9 from three and going 9-for-9 at the line.
  • Victor Wembanyama posted 31 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists, and Stephon Castle added 23, 10 and 10, the first time Spurs teammates recorded triple-doubles in the same game.
  • San Antonio suffered its first home loss of the season, ending a three-game winning run, as the Warriors halted a slide after losing three of their previous four.
  • Curry’s performance left him one game shy of matching Michael Jordan’s 44 games with 40 or more points after turning 30.
  • After the game, Curry praised Wembanyama’s defensive challenge and later wrote on Instagram that it was good to be back on the winning side.
