For the fifth time in 2019, 48 minutes weren’t enough for the San Antonio Spurs to get a decision as the Golden State Warriors led throughout and forced overtime with some tough, hardnosed (and lucky) play. But Dejounte Murray came up huge and the Spurs closed the door on the visitors in a high-scoring extra period, 117-113.
The Dubs were led by Alec Burks and Glen Robinson III with 28 and 25 points respectively, and San Antonio rode DeMar DeRozan (24-5-4-3 on 18 shots), Patty Mills (18-4-4-1) and LaMarcus Aldridge (17-12-4) to a win on New Year’s Eve to solidify their hold on the Western Conference’s 8th playoff spot.
