Overview
- The Spurs beat the Warriors 123-85 on Friday to extend their winning streak to 11 games and remain unbeaten in NBA Cup group play.
- Guard Stephon Castle scored a season-high 32 points and Victor Wembanyama posted a 12-point, 12-rebound double-double as San Antonio opened the game on an 18-0 run.
- Golden State played without Stephen Curry after an MRI-confirmed right oblique tear that will sideline him for at least two weeks, and the team shot just 33.3% from the field.
- Warriors forward Draymond Green was assessed a Flagrant Foul 1 for a forearm shove that knocked Wembanyama out of bounds and removed Green from the first-half rotation.
- The game aired nationally on Prime Video and locally on CW SA, with the Spurs' large margin helping their Cup point differential and both teams turning quickly to their next scheduled road games.
