Despite trailing by as many as 13 points in the first half, the Spurs managed to narrow the deficit to just four at the break. Golden State responded at the start of the third period with a trio of three-pointers – Melton hitting two and Moody adding another – pushing the lead to 16 points.

San Antonio, however, closed the third quarter with an impressive 24-8 run, culminating in Fox’s jumper at the buzzer to lock the score at 94. In the final period, the Spurs took control: Wembanyama produced an alley-oop dunk, a block, and a three-pointer within the space of a minute, putting the visitors ten points clear. San Antonio maintained their advantage to secure their first win over the Warriors in three meetings this season.
