"But playing against one of the West's top teams, the Steph Curry-less Warriors lost 126-113 to the Spurs in a game that was close for much of it. Draymond Green was on triple-double watch while guarding Victor Wembanyama, putting up 17 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists. Wembanyama responded by scoring 26 and blocking two shots. Neither player wanted to give an inch to the other as there was plenty of grappling and uncalled fouls as the duo battled for positioning."
"The Spurs used a 39-13 second half run to turn a 16-point deficit into a 10-point advantage. Though Steph Curry sat out his fifth consecutive game with runner's knee, the Golden State offense still found a way to zip up and down the Chase Center floor against a San Antonio outfit playing the second leg of a back-to-back, at least early on."
"The Warriors had 12 assists on 14 made baskets in the first quarter, and led 38-31 after 12 minutes. Maintaining that lead in the second quarter was far more difficult, as the Spurs got the Warriors into the foul bonus just three minutes into the period. Strong play from Gary Payton II helped the Warriors enjoy a 67-63 at halftime despite foul trouble."

De'Aaron Fox scored 27 with eight assists, Keldon Johnson had 21, and bench play, including Dylan Harper's 14 points and seven assists, fueled the comeback. Golden State led 38-31 after one and 67-63 at halftime before the Spurs rallied.
