Tagbilaran City, Bohol – Just hours after learning that two-time league MVP Stephen Curry would be out for at least three months due to a broken left hand, Draymond Green compounded matters for the Warriors when he injured his left index finger during Golden State’s 127-110 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, Friday night (Saturday morning, Philippine time) at the jampacked Chase Center in San Francisco, California.
Patty Mills scored a game high 31 points, including 6 three-pointers to go along with 3 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal for San Antonio, off the bench. LaMarcus Aldridge added 22 markers and 8 boards for the Spurs, who bounced back from a loss to the Clippers the night before. The Spurs are now 4-1 on the win-loss column.
D’Angelo Russell topscored for the Warriors with 30 for the Warriors, who are still yet to win in San Francisco and dropped to a 1-4 record.
The Spurs will travel back home to host the Los Angeles Lakers on Sunday night (Monday morning, Philippine time).
Meanwhile, the Warriors will try to get their first victory of the season for their new homecourt, as they host the Charlotte Hornets on Saturday night (Sunday morning, Philippine time).
