SAN ANTONIO, April 1: Stephen Curry had 33 points and the Golden State Warriors held on to beat the undermanned San Antonio Spurs 117-113 on Sunday night for their fourth straight victory.
With his family in town to celebrate Easter, Curry helped Golden State overcome a sloppy start and finish 4-1 on its trip.
Curry was 12 for 23 from the field, hitting 7 of 15 3-pointer attempts, as Golden State clings to the final play-in spot in the Western Conference — two games ahead of Houston after the Rockets’ home loss to Dallas on Sunday.
Spurs centre Victor Wembanyama had 32 points and nine rebounds.
Wembanyama was called for an over-the-back foul on what would have been his 10th rebound with four seconds remaining. Warriors forward Draymond Green made one of two free throws to seal the victory.
Green finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds.
San Antonio had a 7-0 run to cut Golden State’s lead to 113-111 with 59 seconds remaining. Klay Thompson responded with a 3-pointer.
Thompson finished with 13 points.
