The San Antonio Spurs opened their game against the Stephen Curry-less Golden State Warriors with an 18-0 run, the biggest opening run in the NBA’s play-by-play era, and led 38-14 after the first quarter. De’Aaron Fox and Devin Vassell started despite appearing on the injury report, while Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle helped power the Spurs’ dominant start; Golden State struggled to score and rookie Yaxel Lendeborg managed just one first-quarter point. The performance came amid a 10-game Spurs winning streak, a notable turnaround after they began the season 0-2 and a feat matched only by the 2017-18 Celtics. The streak included wins against several teams with losing records, but San Antonio also beat winning teams Dallas, Minnesota and Portland, and went 6-0 on the road. Wembanyama was a major force during the run, averaging 32.6 points, 11.4 rebounds and 4.5 blocks, as the Spurs combined interior scoring with effective outside shooting.
