The road to the NBA Cup runs through familiar terrain for the Spurs when Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors return to the Frost Bank Center this Friday night.
Now in his 18th season, Curry lit up the Spurs defense for 46 and 49 points in consecutive wins in San Antonio last November, and recently turned back the clock in a 44-point performance versus the Timberwolves in Minnesota.
Rounding out West Group C are the Los Angeles Lakers, Portland Trail Blazers and Sacramento Kings.
After a pair of losses to start the season, the Spurs have responded with five wins in a row and counting, including a 130-103 rout of the Kings at home.
“I think the standard that we’re setting for ourselves is that we have to start great, and that doesn’t have to be with points,” Julian Champagnie told reporters after the game. “That doesn’t have to be with scoring the basketball. That just means go out there play defense, finish defensive possessions with rebounds, and then get quality shots whether they go in or they don’t go in.”
$139 and up, 8:30 p.m. Friday, Nov. 13, Frost Bank Center, 1 Frost Bank Center Drive, (210) 444-5140, frostbankcenter.com, Peacock, NBC.
