Stephen Curry led the charge for the Warriors, scoring 35 points and sinking seven 3-pointers, while also dishing out six assists. Cedi Osman’s late 3-pointer brought the Spurs within three points, but Curry calmly converted four free throws, and Klay Thompson added a pair to seal the win.

Gary Payton II made a spectacular defensive play with a high-leaping block against Victor Wembanyama, helping the Golden State Warriors secure a 118-112 victory over the struggling San Antonio Spurs in an In-Season Tournament game. Despite being one of the smallest players on the court, Payton’s energy and effort proved instrumental in the win.

Dario Saric provided a valuable contribution off the bench with 20 points and four 3-pointers, while Thompson added 15 points and six assists. The victory marked only the second win for the Warriors in their last nine games as they aim to advance out of Group C in the in-season tournament.

The Warriors had control of the game with a 15-point lead in the final minutes, but turnovers allowed the Spurs to make a late push, making it a closer contest.

The Warriors will welcome back Draymond Green from his five-game suspension in their next game against the Sacramento Kings. Green has been working with the training staff and is expected to make a significant impact on his return.

In addition, the Warriors honored their former player and broadcaster, Jim Barnett, by unveiling the new Jim Barnett Media Center.
