It's West Group C action in the Emirates NBA Cup
. Second game for both these squads, Victor Wambayama
and the Spurs taking on Steph Curry and the Golden
State Warriors. We start you off with Jimmy Butler
driving baseline and making the acrobatic layup, sort of
getting that one up and around beside Victor Wambayama.
He had 10 points in the half. In the
second, Steph Curry against the screen, stepped back
on Wambayama. Hits the 3 over him, not
easily done. He had 18 points in the half
. Still 2nd quarter, De'Aaron Fox takes the ball
up, shoots the 3, gets the shooter's roll
. He had 14.5, 24 in the game.
Warriors up by 2 at the break. Wambayama starting
to take over in the second half. Look at
the alley-oop to himself, just flings it off the
backboard, Tracy McGrady style and throws that one down
. Limbayama then on the other end swats Draymond Green's
shot and then affects the next shot and gets the
rebound 97th straight game with a block. He had
16 points through three quarters. Then Steph Curry takes
it himself, bumped in the lane, floats it
up and in, and not even Steph can't believe
he did that one. Then Curry fires a pass
to the corner. Gary Payton, smart move.
Get it right back to step, a little hesitation
. He drops the 3, scored 14 straight Warrior
points, 35 through 3 in the 4th. Draymond
Greengarden Wambayama and Wambayama underneath gets the lob and just
stuffs it with the left. That one wouldn't count
because of a foul before the pass, but really
something to look at. Later, Steph would have
an answer as he stepped back, shoots it from
way downtown, and drains the 3. He had
9 threes in the game. 1:11 left. Spurs
up by 1. De'Aaron Fox misses, but Wabayama
is there with the tip in the middle. He
had 26 points and 12 rebounds next possession. Draymond
to Jimmy Butler, he gets the tough layup,
but Spurs would have defense from there. Beautiful block
from Wambayama. Then Steph Curry taking advantage. That's
a veteran move. Drives, stops, draws the
foul. Steph goes to the line. He hit
the first. He hit the 2nd, so the
Spurs have the lead. And then one last shot
for San Antonio. De'Aaron Fox can't get it to
fall, and Curry and the Warriors get the win
. He's the 2nd player of all time with back
to back 45 or more point games after the age
of 37 with Michael Jordan. Warriors win it 109
to 108.
