NBA Night of Double Trouble: Curry's 46 Drives Warriors Past Spurs while Jokic and Thunder Dominate
13 November 2025
Curry fuels Warriors over Spurs as Wembanyama shines
Stephen Curry exploded for 46 points to lift the Golden State Warriors to a 125-120 win over the San Antonio Spurs in an early morning clash. San Antonio, led by the rising French stars Victor Wembanyama and Stephon Castle, built a 16-point edge in the second quarter but could not hold off Golden State's late charge.
Wembanyama finished with 31 points, 15 rebounds and 10 assists, while Castle added 23 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, giving the night a rare two-man triple-double show. Curry found his rhythm after halftime, sinking a key three with five minutes left in the third to swing the balance in favor of the visitors.
Despite the Spurs' duo putting up triple-doubles, the Warriors used a strong third quarter and steady defense to erase the deficit and move into the win column. The night also marked the end of San Antonio's home winning streak this season.
After the loss to Oklahoma City on Tuesday, Curry credited the team for a balanced showing, highlighting the third quarter for stifling defense and fast-ball movement. “We didn’t shoot well early, but everyone stayed confident and found a way to score,” he said.
Lakers fall flat as Thunder impose authority
In the night’s other game, the Oklahoma City Thunder overwhelmed the Los Angeles Lakers 121-92, handing LAL a tough dose of reality as their win-streak faded and injuries mounted.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander led OKC with 30 points, while the Lakers struggled to generate offense with their core sidelined or limited, allowing the Thunder to pull away in the middle quarters.
Jokic erupts for 55 as Nuggets roll; Magic beat Knicks; Pistons top Bulls
Meanwhile Nikola Jokic delivered a masterful 55-point night, adding 12 rebounds and six assists as the Denver Nuggets defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 130-116, extending their strong start to the season.
In Orlando, Franz Wagner sparked the Magic’s 124-107 win over the New York Knicks with 28 points, as Paolo Banchero exited early with a hip injury. The Knicks were paced by Jalen Brunson with 31, but Orlando pulled away late.
Back east, Luka Dončić provided 19 points for the Lakers in a bid to spark a comeback, while Detroit’s Pistons used 28 points and 13 rebounds from Paul Reed to beat Chicago 124-113, continuing Detroit’s solid run.
Finally, the Pistons' surge underscored a night where multiple teams claimed important wins as the NBA season accelerates.
Punchline 1: If basketball were a dating app, these players would swipe right on every jump shot.
Punchline 2: My fantasy team just filed a restraining order against the stat sheet—it's getting a little too clingy with all these numbers.
