In a nail-biting showdown that had fans on the edge of their seats, the Golden State Warriors edged out the San Antonio Spurs with a final score of 109-108 on November 14, 2025. This game wasn’t just a win; it was a testament to the Warriors’ resilience and a showcase of individual brilliance.
Stephen Curry, in a performance for the ages, dropped an astounding 49 points, outshining even the formidable Victor Wembanyama. But here’s where it gets interesting: Wembanyama, despite his impressive 26 points, 12 rebounds, four assists, and three blocks, couldn’t quite lead the Spurs to victory, leaving them with a 1-1 record in the NBA Cup.
Curry’s performance was nothing short of spectacular. He shot an impressive 16 for 26 from the field and an incredible 9 for 17 from beyond the arc, marking his highest-scoring game of the season. The pressure was on in the final seconds, but Curry remained ice-cold, sinking two crucial free throws with only 6 seconds left on the clock, ultimately sealing the win for the Warriors.
The Warriors completed a sweep of their two-game series in San Antonio, demonstrating their ability to rally and secure wins in the fourth quarter of both games. Golden State coach Steve Kerr even noted the playoff-like intensity of the back-to-back matchups, and the game certainly delivered on that front.
The game wasn’t without its drama. Tensions flared between Draymond Green and Wembanyama, with officials having to intervene multiple times. Green’s frustration led to a technical foul, adding another layer of intensity to the contest. In the closing moments, Wembanyama blocked a layup attempt by Jimmy Butler, keeping the Spurs in the game. However, San Antonio couldn’t capitalize on the opportunity, and De’Aaron Fox’s missed shot with 12 seconds remaining proved costly.
Curry, on the other hand, seized the moment. Fouled by Fox, he calmly sank both free throws, putting the Warriors ahead by a single point. Fox’s final attempt at an 18-foot jumper as time expired was unsuccessful, solidifying the Warriors’ victory.
De’Aaron Fox contributed 24 points and 10 assists for the Spurs, while Julian Champagnie added 14 points. For the Warriors, Jimmy Butler scored 21 points, with Brandin Podziemski and Will Richard each contributing 10 points.
