With a play-in spot already secured and the chances of climbing to ninth looking slim, the Spurs held out several players against a Warriors team missing its biggest stars. It was hard to imagine a fun game happening in those circumstances, but that’s exactly what fans got in what ended up being a 100-94 win for Golden State.
The start wasn’t particularly auspicious. With so many big absences , it wasn’t a surprise that the first stretch of the game featured a lot of energy but not a lot of polish. The starters had good moments, but lacking shot creators made things hard on offense.
