  "account": "The Golden State Warriors suffered a devastating 85-123 defeat against the San Antonio Spurs in their first game following the injury of Stephen Curry. Yaxel Lendeborg, a Golden State forward, openly admitted that Victor Wembanyama, the star player of the Spurs, threw him off during the match. Lendeborg, who finished with just three points, seven rebounds, and one assist, described his performance as \"awful\" and felt helpless throughout the game. He attributed his struggles to the intimidating presence of Wembanyama in the paint and his own lack of aggression. Lendeborg's comments suggest that he intends to use this defeat as motivation to bounce back in the next game, which is scheduled against the New Orleans Pelicans on November 16.",
