Stephen Curry scored 46 points and the Golden State Warriors beat the San Antonio Spurs 125-120 on Wednesday night, riding triple doubles from Victor Wembanyama and Stephen Cassel. Jimmy Butler had 28 points and eight assists for Golden State, which has lost three of four. Moses Moody added 19 points. Wembanyama had 31 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists for his fourth career triple-double. He had 38 points and 12 rebounds in a 121-117 win at Chicago on Monday night.
Wembanyama and Castle became the first Spurs teammates to record a triple double in the same game. Castle finished with 23 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
San Antonio suffered its first home loss of the season. The Spurs won three straight overall.
Curry scored 29 points in the second half as the Warriors outscored the Spurs 76-64 over the final two quarters.
His fourth 3-pointer gave Golden State a 74-73 lead with five minutes left in the third quarter, its first lead since the opening minutes of the first.
Curry had 22 points in the third quarter, going 5 for 9 on 3-pointers and making nine of his free-throw attempts.
Golden State finished 32 for 36 on free throws while San Antonio was 14 for 16.
The Spurs had three alley-oop dunks to build a 16-point lead in the second quarter, and the 7-foot-4 Wembaniama didn’t pull any down, though he did assist one on Castle. Luke Cornett had the other two dunks with assists from Castle and Devin Vassell.
Wembaniama blocked Draymond Green’s 25-foot, 3-point attempt early in the first quarter, leaping from the free-throw line to get the ball. The block extended Wembanyama’s streak to 96 straight games with at least one block.
Golden State improved to 1-1 on the six-game trip. San Antonio has four games left on its homestand.
The teams will meet again on Friday.
