The result leaves both teams 1-1 in West Group C of the in-season NBA Cup.

Overview

  • Stephen Curry hit two go-ahead free throws with about 6.4 seconds left to seal a 109-108 road win, and De'Aaron Fox's buzzer attempt missed.
  • The 37-year-old posted his 44th 40-point game since turning 30, tying Michael Jordan, after dropping 46 points against San Antonio two days earlier.
  • Curry shot 16-for-26 from the field, 9-for-17 from three and 8-for-8 at the line, scoring 31 after halftime in his season-high 49-point outing.
  • Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 26 points, 12 rebounds and multiple blocks, but San Antonio's 21 turnovers undercut its late lead.
  • Golden State swept the two-game set in San Antonio, improving to 8-6 overall, with Jimmy Butler adding 21 points and key fourth-quarter help from Brandin Podziemski and Gary Payton II.
