The San Antonio Spurs extended their winning streak to ten games on Thursday, April 2, 2026, with a dominant 127-113 victory over the Golden State Warriors. Victor Wembanyama led the charge, exploding for 41 points and 18 rebounds in just 29 minutes of play.
Wembanyama’s performance marked the second consecutive game he has scored at least 40 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, making him the youngest player in NBA history to achieve that feat. The win propels the Spurs to a 58-18 record, narrowing the gap with the Western Conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder to just two games as they continue to vie for the top seed.
Despite news that Stephen Curry is nearing a return – reportedly as soon as next week after resuming five-on-five training – the Warriors struggled against the Spurs’ size, and firepower. Golden State was without Al Horford, Quinten Post, and Kristaps Porzingis, leaving Draymond Green to defend the 7’4” Wembanyama.
The Spurs established a significant lead early, capitalizing on their advantage in the paint. Wembanyama finished the first half with 27 points and 13 rebounds on an efficient 10-of-14 shooting. San Antonio led 70-49 at halftime.
While the Warriors attempted a comeback in the third quarter, led by L.J. Cryer, Wembanyama quickly quelled any momentum with a crucial three-pointer. The Spurs maintained control throughout the fourth quarter, extending their lead to as many as 20 points.
Seven Spurs players scored in double figures, with Stephon Castle and Julian Champagnie adding 15 points apiece. Nate Williams led the Warriors with 18 points, while Brandin Podziemski contributed 14 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists.
Curry participated in shootaround before the game and stated, “I just want to get through this turbulent period as quickly as possible, and I believe the finish will be rewarded. That’s what motivates me to come back.”
The Spurs’ victory continues their impressive run of form, solidifying their position as a top contender in the Western Conference. The Warriors, meanwhile, face an uphill battle as they navigate their injury woes and attempt to secure a playoff spot.
