Wembanyama also extended his streak to 96 consecutive games with at least one block, swatting away Draymond Green’s 25-foot three-point attempt from the free-throw line in the first quarter.

Golden State were efficient at the line, finishing 32 of 36 on free throws compared to San Antonio’s 14 for 16. Curry’s fourth triple of the game gave the Warriors a 74-73 advantage with five minutes left in the third quarter – their first lead since the opening minutes.

Looking Ahead

San Antonio’s first home loss of the campaign halts a three-game streak, with four games remaining on their current homestand. Golden State and San Antonio will meet again on Friday.
