Warriors Can't Stop Spurs' Winning Streak Without Porziņģis
The Golden State Warriors lost to the San Antonio Spurs 113-126 in an NBA game without Latvian player Kristaps Porziņģis, who has yet to debut for the team.
In an NBA regular-season game on Wednesday, the Golden State Warriors suffered a defeat against the San Antonio Spurs, losing 113-126 on their home court. This loss marked the Spurs' sixth consecutive victory. Star player Kristaps Porziņģis did not play, still awaiting his debut for the Warriors, which is anticipated to occur after the NBA All-Star Game.
During the game, De'Aaron Fox was the standout performer for the Spurs, scoring 27 points, while Victor Wembanyama contributed 26 points and Keldon Johnson added 21 points. For the Warriors, De'Anthony Melton, Moses Moody, and Draymond Green each scored 17 points, with Green also securing 12 rebounds. The absence of key players such as Stephen and Seth Curry, along with Jimmy Butler, who is out for the season due to a knee injury, significantly impacted the Warriors' performance.
Currently, the Warriors sit in eighth place in the Western Conference with a record of 29-26. The ongoing challenges with injuries and the high-stakes competition in the league raise concerns about their ability to secure a playoff spot this season, especially with key players still sidelined and others struggling to step up in their absence.
