This is San Francisco. The Golden State Warriors player Victor Wembanyama, who is 7 feet 3 inches tall, was returning from a foot ailment when Gary Payton II made a high-leaping block against him. This block was a beautiful defensive play.

Each and every major play was essential for the Warriors, and only a select few other players have been able to surpass Wembanyama up to this point.

While laughing, Payton stated, “I’m probably the smallest of them all.” “All it takes is some effort and energy.”

On Friday night, the Warriors defeated Wembanyama and the struggling San Antonio Spurs in a game that was part of the In-Season Tournament. Stephen Curry scored 35 points, matching his season record with seven three-pointers, and dishing out six assists. The Warriors won the game 118-112 thanks to the performance of the Spurs.

Following a three-pointer shot by Cedi Osman with 21 seconds remaining, the Spurs were able to come within 112-109 before Curry scored four free throws the rest of the way and Klay Thompson made a pair of free throws.

While Thompson contributed 15 points and six assists, Dario Saric added 20 points with four three-pointers and seven rebounds off the bench. Thompson also contributed fifteen points. Despite the fact that this was only the second time in nine games that Golden State has won, the team is still hoping to advance out of Group C in the in-season competition.

The Warriors even talked point differential during one of their late timeouts; however, their conversation did not exactly work out, as they ended up losing the game by a close margin, despite having a 15-point lead with two and a half minutes remaining.

According to the coach, Steve Kerr, “We are attempting to advance.”

Despite the fact that he shot 1 for 6 from long range, No. 1 selection Wembanyama scored 22 points and eight rebounds in San Antonio’s record-setting 11th consecutive loss. During the spurs’ 11-4 surge, he scored five points in a short period of time, including a three-pointer. Midway through the second quarter, the youngster made a pretty around-the-waist move to drive to the basket, but Payton, who was more than a full foot shorter and had missed the previous three games, blocked his shot. Payton had missed the previous three games.

According to Kerr, “It was an exciting moment, and the crowd fell in love with it.” I thought that was an incredible play.

Keldon Johnson had 22 points and 12 rebounds for San Antonio, who went 0-4 in tournament group play. Devin Vassell led the Spurs with 24 points, followed by Keldon Johnson, who had 22 points and 12 rebounds.

Despite the fact that they have won seven of nine games in the series and the last five against the Spurs, the Warriors have allowed 34 points to be scored off of their 24 turnovers.

He has been working out with the training staff in preparation for his return on Tuesday against Sacramento, which would have sealed a quarterfinal position for the Warriors if they had lost on Friday. Draymond Green served the final game of his five-game suspension for putting a choke hold on Rudy Gobert.

It is my hope that he will be ready to play a significant amount of minutes,” added Kerr.

The Jim Barnett Media Center, which was named after the former player and announcer for the Golden State Warriors, was just opened to the public.

According to Barnett, “I am so grateful that I am alive to witness all of this.”
