The Golden State Warriors had a double-digit lead going into the fourth quarter, but they frequently turned the ball over in the closing minutes, which allowed the San Antonio Spurs to mount a late comeback.
The Warriors prevailed 118–111 in a late thriller on Friday night, despite a late surge by the Spurs.
With a game-high 35 points on 11 of 20 shooting from the field, six assists, and three rebounds in just 35 minutes, Steph Curry helped the Warriors hold off the Spurs. Curry scorched the arc, making seven three-pointers in the Spurs game.
In 26 minutes off the bench, Dario Saric added 20 points on 7 of 11 shots from beyond the arc.
Rookie No. 1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama scored 22 points in 35 minutes on 8 of 18 field goals, nine rebounds, and four assists in his regular-season debut at Chase Center.
The Warriors, who have a 2-1 record, can still win in West Group C if they triumph on Friday. In the in-season tournament, Golden State and the Sacramento Kings will play each other in the final group stage on Tuesday.
