Without Victor Wembanyama and Devin Vessell, the Spurs beat the Warriors, who were playing without Steph Curry. Keldon Johnson notched a double-double.
SAN FRANCISCO — The Spurs arrived at the Chase Center on Saturday afternoon aware somebody’s starless streak had to end. Golden State was 0-3 this season with Stephen Curry in street clothes. The Spurs were 0-7 without Victor Wembanyama. Both players were out Saturday with ankle sprains. It was — perhaps improbably — the Spurs who broke through, riding an all-around effort from the 10 healthy players who remained to a 126-113 victory over the Warriors.
When Spurs contend again, not all will make the cut “They’re a heck of a good group,” coach Gregg Popovich said. “They don’t give in. We make our share of mistakes, that’s for sure as a young team. But they’re learning and getting more consistent in a lot of different areas.” Not only were the Spurs without their leading scorer, rebounder, steals man and shot-blocker in Wembanyama, they were also without second-leading scorer Devin Vassell. He was a late scratch due to hip soreness.

Barlow had seven of his points in the final period, Malaki Branham had six points and Champagnie threw in five. “I feel like everybody who touched the court played the right way and played Spurs basketball,” Johnson said. “I couldn’t be happier for our guys.” Here are three takeaways from Saturday’s victory, which improved the Spurs to 14-50: 1.
