For the past decade, the Golden State Warriors have been one of the best teams in the Western Conference. They’ve battled with the San Antonio Spurs and other teams, and even though they aren’t at the same peak they once were, the tendencies remain the same. They still have Stephen Curry, they still have Steve Kerr, and they still fight hard every game.
On Sunday night, the Spurs and Warriors battled it out, but instead of Kawhi Leonard vs. Curry, it was Victor Wembanyama vs. Curry. Heading into the half, the Spurs were up by eight points. They had just held the Warriors to 52 points in the first half. But they knew the game was far from over.

“We talked about it at halftime,” Graham said. “You know they are going to make a run. They shoot the ball way too well not to make a run.”
And make a run they did. The Warriors climbed all the way back to earn a 117-113 win on the back of a 37-21 third-quarter margin over the Spurs.
