LOS ANGELES – Stephen Curry scored 46 points and the Golden State Warriors rallied to stun the San Antonio Spurs 125-120 on Wednesday as the Oklahoma City Thunder dominated the Los Angeles Lakers in another marquee NBA matchup.
Nikola Jokic capped the night with a 55-point outburst that propelled the Denver Nuggets to a 130-116 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Curry scored 31 of his points in the second half as the Warriors handed the Spurs a first home defeat of the season, snapping San Antonio’s three-game winning streak despite triple-doubles from both Victor Wembanyama and teammate Stephon Castle.
Wembanyama delivered 31 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists and Castle added 23 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
San Antonio led by 16 in the second quarter, but the Warriors cut the deficit to seven at halftime and powered to the lead in the third quarter.
Curry said that in the wake of a blowout loss to the Thunder on Tuesday “everybody stepped up.”
“That third quarter is what we do,” he added. “Getting stops, pushing, creating easy offense, and thankfully I was able to knock a couple down.
“You know we didn’t really make a lot of shots in the first half, but I think everybody kept their confidence, their composure.”
