The old and the young get together in Texas. Will experience win out twice in a row over youth today when the Warriors visit the Spurs? Unlikely.
The teams played in San Antonio on Wednesday, and Golden State came away with a 125-120 win. Steph Curry had a monster game with 46 points while Victor Wembanyama scored 31 points, grabbed 15 rebounds, and added 10 assists. This is reflected in the NBA odds, which indicate a close battle as the Warriors visit the Spurs for the second time this week.
This is a generational matchup, and people lucky enough to go to one game, let alone two, should be thrilled. Look for this game to go over, and expect the Warriors to have expended more energy in the first matchup than the Spurs.
GSW fell behind by 14, outscored the SAS by 22 in the second and third quarters before hanging on as the Spurs scored 36 in the fourth but allowed 33 to Golden State. Expect both teams to fight hard again in another high-scoring thriller tonight.
