Spurs snap Warriors’ streak at 12 games
Print Edition
KAWHI Leonard matched his career-high with 26 points and set a career-high with seven steals as the San Antonio Spurs rolled past Golden State 107-92 on Sunday, ending the Warriors’ 12-game win streak while extending their own to seven straight.
San Antonio also extended its home winning streak over Golden State to 32 straight, dating back to 1997, the season before Duncan arrived.
Tim Duncan had 19 points and Danny Green added 18 points for the Spurs, who led by as many as 28 points.
“Kawhi was magnificent at both ends of the court,” San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich said. “He is really playing confidently, but he hasn’t forgotten to predicate his game on defense and on the boards. It kind of fuels him offensively.”
Stephen Curry had 24 points, but was harassed into 9-for-17 shooting by Leonard. Klay Thompson was held to six points for Golden State.
In other games, Indiana got injured star Paul George back just in time, beating Miami 112-89 to remain in contention for the playoffs.
George finished with 13 points in 15 minutes — his first action for the Pacers since breaking his right leg on August 1.
Luis Scola scored a season-high 23 points to lead Indiana to its second straight win. The Pacers moved into a tie with the Heat for the No. 9 spot in the Eastern Conference. Both teams trail Boston by a game for the conference’s eighth and final playoff spot.
Also, it was: Rockets 115, Thunder 112; Cavaliers 99, Bulls 94; Knicks 101, 76ers 91; Jazz 101, Kings 95; and Clippers 106, Lakers 78.
