The Golden State Warriors defeated the San Antonio Spurs 110 - 98 Wednesday at AT & T Center. It was n't the best start for the winning team Wednesday night. In fact, it was an awful one, as the Warriors (61 - 14) found themselves down 23 - 3 to the Spurs (57 - 17) before they could blink. That sort of beat down carried on throughout the remainder of the first quarter, as the Spurs held a 33 - 17 advantage after the first 12 minutes, and the game seemed all but over. Golden State had other plans, however, and they elected to dominate the ball game over the final 36 minutes. In the end, they outscored the home team by 28 points over the next three quarters, which ended in a seemingly effortless victory from Golden State. Steph Curry led the way scoring with 29 points on top of 11 assists, while Klay Thompson added 23 points of his own. Overall, the team simply caught fire after their slow start, finishing the game shooting 51 percent from the field and 50 percent from behind the arc. As for San Antonio, their hot start was short - lived, as they not only had an eight - game winning streak come to an end, but they also failed to complete the season sweep of the Warriors. The Spurs have tended to go as their superstar wing Kawhi Leonard goes, and Wednesday night, the swingman struggled. Leonard finished with just 19 points on 7 - of - 20 shooting from the field and 0 - of - 5 shooting from downtown. Leonard, LaMarcus Aldridge, Danny Green and Paul Gasol managed to combine for 70 points in the loss, with no other Spur able to score more than eight points. This included the zero points Tony Parker was able to score in 21 minutes on the floor. Following the victory, the Warriors once again have a comfortable lead as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference standings, sitting 4 games ahead of the second - place Spurs and extending their winning streak to nine games.
