San Antonio Spurs Victorious Over Warriors
San Antonio Spurs continued their brilliant form as they fought to earn a 111-105 victory over Golden State Warriors on Monday night.
DeMar DeRozan scored 26 points and LaMarcus Aldridge added 23 points and 13 rebounds as the San Antonio Spurs secured a ninth consecutive win in the NBA.
The victory was San Antonio’s 11th straight at home and guaranteed the Spurs (42-29) their NBA-record 22nd consecutive winning season.
San Antonio led by four points heading into the final quarter and were never behind over the final 12 minutes, building as much as a nine-point advantage on two different occasions and repelling each of the Warriors’ attempts to take charge.
Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 25 points, and Kevin Durant tallied 24 in his return to the lineup after missing the past two games with a sprained ankle. But the duo could not do more to help the Warriors get a win.
