The San Antonio Spurs stretched their unbeaten run to six games, securing a 126-113 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday (PH time) at Chase Center. The Spurs erased a 16-point deficit in the second half to improve their record to 38-16 heading into All-Star Weekend.

The Warriors took control of the contest in the third quarter, building a commanding 86-70 lead with 6:25 remaining in that period. The Spurs quickly responded, though, finishing the quarter on a 24-8 run to tie the game at 94-94 heading into the final period.

San Antonio sustained the momentum in the fourth quarter, outscoring Golden State 32-19 to claim its 18th away win of the season. They enter the All-Star break as the second-best team in the Western Conference, trailing the league-leading Oklahoma City Thunder by just 3.5 games.

De’Aaron Fox powered San Antonio’s offense, scoring 27 points and issuing 8 assists. He shot 11-for-16 from the field, including 3-for-5 from beyond the arc. Victor Wembanyama also contributed, amassing 26 points and 9 rebounds. Keldon Johnson delivered off the bench with 21 markers.

Draymond Green, De’Anthony Melton, and Moses Moody each scored a team-high 17 points for the Warriors, who fell to 29-26 following the home defeat. The Warriors were without Stephen Curry, who was sidelined due to a lingering knee injury.

warriors assemble！

No star player is like this, able to take the lead but unable to hold it. If Curry could play in this game, the Warriors would undoubtedly be the ultimate winners
