With Stephen Curry ruled out for the game due to an ankle injury, the Golden State Warriors fell into an early hole against the San Antonio Spurs on Saturday evening at Chase Center.
With the Spurs heating up from beyond the arc, the Warriors fell behind by 19 points in the first half. Over the first two quarters, the Spurs hit 10 3-pointers on 62.5% shooting from beyond the arc against Golden State’s leaky defense.
While the Warriors made multiple attempts to dig into the Spurs’ advantage, it wasn’t enough. Without Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs had five members tally 17 points or more on the way to an upset win on the road against the Warriors, 126-113.
Scoring 19 points in the fourth quarter, Jonathan Kuminga tallied 26 points on 10-of-17 shooting from the field with three rebounds and two assists in 30 minutes. Klay Thompson scored a game-high 27 points on 8-of-16 shooting from the floor with five made 3-pointers, but it wasn’t enough against the Spurs.
