Stephon Castle powered the Spurs past Golden State as San Antonio extended its winning streak with a dominant NBA Cup victory.
The San Antonio Spurs delivered a strong message to the Golden State Warriors on Friday night, as they maintained their remarkable streak with a dominant 123-85 victory. The Spurs showcased their early control, scoring the first 18 points and never allowing the Warriors to catch up. Stephon Castle had a standout performance with 32 points, breaking his season high, while the team's bench contributed 56 points.
With Stephen Curry sidelined due to a right oblique tear, the Warriors' only double-digit scorers were LJ Cryer and Charles Bassey. San Antonio's dominance was evident in their 56-28 scoring advantage in the paint and 21-3 lead on fast breaks. The Spurs' starters sat out the final quarter, ensuring the win was secured well before the final whistle.
The team now looks ahead to a 12-game winning streak that continues with a game against Utah on Sunday.
