After falling in a thrilling battle between Steph Curry and Luka Doncic on Saturday night, the Golden State Warriors will continue their four-game Texas road trip with a tilt against the San Antonio Spurs on Monday.

Although the Mavs were able to seal a late victory behind Doncic’s 42 point effort, Curry recorded a scorching game-high with 57 points on 19-of-31 shooting from the field. The two-time Most Valuable Player drilled 11 long-distance 3-pointers on 19 attempts from beyond the arc.

With Eric Paschall questionable due to knee soreness and both James Wiseman and Kevon Looney sidelined with injuries on Monday, the Warriors will need to lean on Curry again against the Spurs.

Following a 19 point comeback against the Los Angeles Lakers on Monday, the Golden State Warriors carried momentum heading into a matchup with the San Antonio Spurs at Chase Center on Wednesday night. Donning a new set of “We Believe” inspired uniforms, the Warriors jumped out to an early advantage over the Spurs.

After taking a 22 point early lead behind Steph Curry’s 20 first-half points, the Warriors cruised to a 121-99 victory against Gregg Popovich’s Spurs.

Curry finished the game leading the Warriors with a game-high 26 points on 10-of-17 shooting from the field with 11 rebounds, seven assists in 31 minutes. The two-time Most Valuable Player shot 4-of-8 from beyond the arc against the Spurs on Wednesday.

Behind Curry was James Wiseman. The rookie notched a career-high 20 points on 8-of-11 shooting from the field with six boards and four assists in 25 minutes. Along with Wiseman and Curry, both Kelly Oubre Jr. and Andrew Wiggins surpassed double-figures in scoring against San Antonio.

While Golden State hit 15 triples and dropped 31 assists as a unit, the defense limited San Antonio to only 4-of-33 shooting from long distance and 17 team assists.

Riding a two-game winning streak, the Warriors will welcome the New York Knicks to Chase Center for the second game of a home back-to-back on Thursday. After registering a 22 point victory in their debut, the Warriors may have to wear the “Oakland Forever” uniforms more often.

After two games on the road, the Golden State Warriors return back to the Bay Area for a Wednesday night tilt against the San Antonio Spurs. The Warriors are bringing momentum to Chase Center following a 19 point comeback against the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers on Monday.

While Steph Curry and Draymond Green helped close in the fourth quarter against the Lakers, Kelly Oubre Jr. and the second unit provided stability to Steve Kerr’s rotation. The Warriors will need similar performances to slow down the gritty Spurs. San Antonio has won three of their last four contests, including back-to-back wins over the Houston Rockets and Portland Trail Blazers.

As veterans like DeMar DeRozan, LaMarcus Aldridge, Rudy Gay and Patty Mills will help lead the Spurs, young players Keldon Johnson, Lonnie Walker IV and rookie Devin Vassell add a new punch to Gregg Popovich’s group.

With San Antonio in town, the Warriors will debut their new “Oakland Forever” jersey and court, inspired by the “We Believe” era teams.
