Spurs complete late comeback vs. Warriors, 104-94

After beating the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night in the NBA Cup group stage, the Golden State Warriors quickly turned the page on Saturday night for the second leg of a back-to-back road against the San Antonio Spurs.

Despite playing Friday night, the Warriors didn’t look like a team in the second game of a back-to-back against the Spurs. Behind Andrew Wiggins, the Warriors jumped out to an early 12-point lead in the first quarter.

The Warriors increased their early lead to as many as 17 points with less than two minutes left in the third quarter. Despite having a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter, the Warriors couldn’t close the door on Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs.

As Wembanyama and Spurs started making a late run, the Warriors went ice cold in the fourth quarter. The Warriors shot 21.1% from the field in the fourth quarter and scored just 13 points in the final frame. While the Warriors struggled to find the bottom of the net, the Spurs took advantage.

In the fourth quarter, the Spurs scored 33 points and stunned the Warriors with a late comeback victory, 104-94.

Wiggins led the Warriors with 20 points on 6-for-16 shooting from the field and 4-for-10 shooting from deep with five rebounds and three assists in 33 minutes. Wiggins was the only member of the Warriors to score 20 points against the Spurs on Saturday.

Wembanyama posted a game-high 25 points on 9-of-21 shooting from the floor with nine assists and seven rebounds against the Warriors. Former Warrior Harrison Barnes added 22 points. Fellow former Golden State guard Chris Paul recorded nine points and seven assists in San Antonio’s comeback win.

The Warriors return to the Bay Area on Monday for a game against the Brooklyn Nets at the Chase Center in San Francisco.
