It was the mother of all trap games on Saturday night. After beating the Phoenix Suns for a big win on Friday, the Golden State Warriors played the second game of a back-to-back in a loss to the San Antonio Spurs with a final score of 107-112.
The Warriors came out firing with a pair of threes from Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins. However, after the Warriors got up 7-2, the Spurs went on a 28-4 run fueled by consecutive sloppy possessions by Golden State which led to bad shots and ugly turnovers. It was clear that the Spurs prioritized shutting down Stephen Curry early on as he was held scoreless for the first 11 minutes of the game until hitting a pair of free throws.
