“We just played hard and executed our game plan,” Tatum said after the match. “Everyone contributed, and we played as a team. That’s what’s important right now as we head toward the playoffs.”
The Warriors, currently sitting in seventh place in the Western Conference standings with a record of 42-32, needed this win to maintain their playoff position. Meanwhile, the Spurs are struggling with their season, now positioned in 13th place at 31-42, just above the New Orleans Pelicans.

San Antonio’s woes on the injury front continued, missing key players like De’Aaron Fox and Victor Wembanyama due to various injuries. The absence of these players has greatly impacted the Spurs’ performance this season.
“Injuries are part of the game, it’s tough,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. “But we need to find a way to rally and fight for every point. The season’s not over yet.”
With their eyes firmly set on the playoffs, the Warriors will look to build on this win, while the Spurs desperately need to figure out a winning formula with their next match approaching. The playoffs are just around the corner, and both teams must recalibrate as they face what lies ahead.
