The Golden State Warriors were dealt a harsh reality check on Sunday, going down 87-79 to an irrepressive San Antonio Spurs.
LaMarcus Aldridge led the charge for the Spurs with 26 points and 13 rebounds to help the home side maintain their 100% record at the AT&T Center this season.
The Texas-based side held the NBA-leading Warriors to their lowest score of the season. This was largely achieved through slowing star player Stephen Curry down with resolute defensive patterns.
San Antonio are now within three games of Golden State for the league’s top seed with two meetings remaining in April.
