What we learned from the Spurs’ blowout of the Warriors

The San Antonio Spurs took a decisive lead from the start and finished with a 123-85 win over the Golden State Warriors on November 13, 2026. The margin was the defining takeaway: San Antonio won by 38 points on the road while producing a high-volume offensive day.

The Spurs’ statistical profile pointed to control more than fluctuation. They out-rebounded Golden State 60-43, recorded 34 assists against 23 by the Warriors, and limited mistakes by turning it over only nine times compared to 13 for Golden State. They also made 14 threes, giving their scoring output a strong perimeter component.

On the individual side, the scoring and creation were spread across multiple Spurs. Stephon Castle led San Antonio with 32 points and added six assists. Keldon Johnson contributed 18 points with four assists, and Victor Wembanyama posted a double-double with 12 points and 12 rebounds alongside six assists.

For Golden State, the box score suggests the night never found its rhythm. The Warriors produced fewer total rebounds, more turnovers, and a lower assist count than the Spurs, while their leading scorer on this snapshot, LJ Cryer, ended with 20 points. Golden State also received additional output from Charles Bassey (11 points) and De’Anthony Melton (8 points), but the supporting numbers were not enough to close the gaps in the team totals.
