Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry is fouled by San Antonio Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama in the 2nd quarter of a preseason game at Chase Center in San Francisco, Calif., Friday, Oct. 20, 2023. SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors’ best shooters need only a second of daylight to get their shots off. San Antonio Spurs phenom Victor Wembanyama’s eight-foot wingspan closed any and all gaps in a Warriors’ 122-117 loss in the preseason finale on Friday night at Chase Center.
Jonathan Kuminga had some relative success going at Wembanyama, at the start of the second half taking him one-on-one on a drive to the basket for a layup. Earlier, he rainbow-ed a jumper over Wembanyama’s outstretched arms. Kuminga finished with 13 points and a team-high five assists and six rebounds in 21 minutes.
Chris Paul took on his expected role as a second unit organizer for a good chunk of the first half with a lineup of Jonathan Kuminga, Dario Saric, Gary Payton II, Cory Joseph — replaced by Thompson at the start of the second quarter. They kept the all moving often and quickly to generate open looks to make the non-Curry minutes on offense productive.
