Depleted Spurs defeat the Curry-less Warriors

The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Golden State Warriors 126-113, and every player saw action. All of them made the most of their minutes. In the opening quarter, Gregg Popovich cleared the bench, allowing all ten Spurs players to get on the court. Despite the absence of Devin Vassell and Victor Wembanyama, the Spurs managed to defeat the Warriors with a team effort that did not include superstar Steph Curry. With 22 points, Keldon Johnson led the Spurs, while Tre Jones, who is still among the league's most effective passers, contributed 10 assists and only one turnover.

The Warriors, the tenth seed in the Western Conference, need to win every game, while the Spurs had their prospects of making the playoffs crushed by the Sacramento Kings in their last game.
