SAN ANTONIO — Stephon Castle scored a season-high 32 points Friday, November 13, as the San Antonio Spurs overwhelmed the Golden State Warriors 123–85 to extend their winning streak to 11 games. Castle hit 12 of his 18 shots and went 5-for-8 from three-point range, setting the pace for a team that seized control before the opening quarter ended. San Antonio improved to 2–0 in NBA Cup group play and turned a potentially significant Western Conference matchup into a 38-point rout.
The Spurs opened with an 18–0 run, led 38–14 after one quarter and reached halftime ahead 63–33. Their advantage eventually grew to 43 points, allowing the starters and most key reserves to sit out the fourth quarter. Victor Wembanyama recorded 12 points and 12 rebounds in only 21 minutes, while Keldon Johnson added 18. Castle’s shooting was the headline, but the defense and ball movement showed why San Antonio has sustained its run rather than relying on a different individual scoring eruption each night.
Golden State was without Stephen Curry, already ruled out with the right oblique tear announced earlier in the week, and struggled to generate offense. L.J. Cryer scored 20 points and Charles Bassey added 11; no other Warriors player reached double figures. Draymond Green received a Flagrant 1 after a shove that sent Wembanyama out of bounds. San Antonio’s previous victory was a 22-point comeback against Chicago, making Friday’s wire-to-wire dominance a distinct new chapter in the streak. The Spurs visit Utah on Sunday, while the Warriors travel to New Orleans on Monday.
