Match Analysis

Victor Wembanyama delivered another outstanding performance by collecting 41 points for the second consecutive game, along with 18 rebounds and three blocks, as the San Antonio Spurs convincingly overcame a depleted Golden State Warriors squad 127-113 on Wednesday night in San Francisco. With this victory, the Spurs have stretched their unbeaten run to 10 matches.

Wembanyama made an immediate impact, scoring 10 of San Antonio’s initial 14 points in just the opening 3 minutes and 36 seconds, propelling his side to an early 17-3 advantage. He concluded the contest having converted 16 of his 22 field goal attempts, registering his fourth game of the campaign with at least 40 points. San Antonio, now holding a 58-18 record, have won 15 of their most recent 16 encounters and continue to pursue the first-seed Oklahoma City Thunder (60-16) in the Western Conference standings.

Player Performance and Squad Updates

De’Aaron Fox endured a brief scare after being struck in the face with less than a minute remaining in the opening quarter but ultimately finished with 11 points, becoming one of seven Spurs players to reach double figures on the night.

Golden State received contributions from Nate Williams, who led with 18 points, and LJ Cryer, who equalled his personal career high with 17. Brandin Podziemski added 14 points, six rebounds, and five assists. Stephen Curry, meanwhile, was absent for the 26th consecutive game since 30 January as he recovers from a right knee issue. On Tuesday, Curry took part in a full practice and a 5-on-5 scrimmage, with head coach Steve Kerr confirming that Curry will participate in further scrimmages over the coming days before being re-evaluated during the weekend.

Seth Curry, Stephen’s younger sibling, contributed 12 points after returning from an eight-game absence with a left inner thigh strain. The Warriors were further hampered by the absence of Kristaps Porzingis, who missed the game with intentions to feature in their back-to-back fixture against the Cavaliers, while Gary Payton II may also return after resting his right knee. Forward Gui Santos was ruled out late following an elbow to the pelvic area, and veteran big man Al Horford missed his tenth consecutive game with a right calf strain.
