Since the 2-5 Celtics arrived in Florida November 2nd, they have the 6th best Net Rating in the NBA (GSW, Phoenix, Utah, Milwaukee, Brooklyn).

Greg Popovich on the Spurs defensive effort on Stephen Curry: “I thought we did well until he decided to do what he wanted to do, and then he did what he wanted to do way better than anything we wanted to do. That’s who he is.” – 11:34 PM Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
Still some games taking place, but for now, the Spurs have moved back up to 11th defensively – 11:34 PM Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
“That’s a team that doesn’t quit,” says Dejounte Murray of the Spurs knowing the Warriors were going to fight back regardless of the lead the Spurs built – 11:32 PM Matt Steinmetz @SteinmetzNBA
37 minutes tonight for Curry, on the second night of back to backs. – 11:32 PM Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
During the 4 game winning streak Derrick White is averaging 19.5 PPG on 16 shots.
Making 34% of his 3s
5.3 REB, 5 AST, 1.3 STL, 1 BLK
Pop said a few nights ago Derrick’s back to being Derrick and that appears to be the case.
Spurs getting wins in the process – 11:28 PM Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
The Spurs might get a player in the West Player of the Week nominee list for the 1st time this season:

All 6 games tonight are rest-advantage games. Teams that didn’t play last night (CHI, MEM, MIL & SAS) are 4-0 so far.
POR has climbed out of a big hole. SAC up 6 at the half on the Clips.
Rest-advantage teams are 52-31 (.627) this season. Would be best mark of last 8 years. – 11:07 PM Matt Steinmetz @SteinmetzNBA

The thing that stands out most about this win streak, beyond the Spurs closing a couple of games against good teams, is the reminder that when Derrick White is himself the complexion of the game totally changes.

Dejounte Murray is gonna be an All-Star. Tonight he had 23 points, 12 rebounds and 7 assists against the Warriors in the Spurs’ 112-107 win. He’s versatile and dogged — and no one wants it more. – 11:00 PM Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
96% of the Spurs’ points tonight were scored from the paint, 3PT line, and FT line.
This makes 3 games in a row the Spurs have started to move away from the mid-range dramatically – 10:59 PM RJ Marquez @KSATRJ
Spurs win 4th straight after surviving Steph Curry rally and beating Warriors on road. DJ and D-White were big time.

Warriors stage impressive late comeback but lose ‘trap game’ to Spurs 112-107.
Two losses in five days.
Home win streak ends at 11.
Curry: 7-28 FG
Bench for the most part showed better than starters in Pt II of back-to-back set – 10:54 PM Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
The Warriors were favored by 9 tonight. That’s the most ANY team has been favored against the Spurs in a game this season.
SA pulls off the upset.
The Spurs are now 5-11 as underdogs.

Since starting 4-13, Spurs have won four straight, including wins over Boston, Washington-and, tonight, over the red-hot Warriors in San Francisco. – 10:52 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Warriors only gave up 13 fourth quarter points but still lost to the Spurs. Gave up a 17-0 first quarter run. Fell down 22. Steph Curry went 7/28 shooting. That snaps an 11-game home win streak. Record: 19-4. – 10:50 PM Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
A furious rally falls short for a Warriors group that dug too big of a hole to climb out of late. Steph finishes 7-for-28 from the field. Kerr said before the game it felt like a classic trap game. The Warriors fell right into it.
They’re now 19-4 on the year. – 10:50 PM Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba

Spurs won the third quarter 32-30 against the best third-quarter team in the league. They are up 99-88 heading into the fourth. And yet, here comes Steph …. – 10:17 PM Melissa Rohlin @melissarohlin
Steph just made an incredible 3-pointer at the third quarter buzzer from just inside the half court line, surrounded by three defenders.
This is the type of thing that ignites the Warriors, who trail the Spurs, 99-88, heading into the final period. – 10:17 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
END OF Q3: Warriors trail the Spurs 99-88, but this one feels far from over. Curry just hit a 38-footer as time expired. If he gets hot, anything can happen. – 10:17 PM Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Steph is getting hot now after starting 1-for-14. He’s got four threes including a buzzer beater at the end of the 3rd. Warriors have been sluggish all night but have given themselves a chance heading into the 4th. – 10:17 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Spurs are up 17 late in the third quarter. They’re doing OK. But man, you feel like they’re wasting a chance to push the margin into the 20s before the fourth. – 10:09 PM Melissa Rohlin @melissarohlin
So far the loudest applause of the night at this Warriors-Spurs game has gone to the Hardwood Classics, a dance crew that features different ages and shapes shaking it in a delightful routine. – 10:08 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
I thought Curry would sit this night. They gotta find days for him to rest. He can’t play 82. More convinced he should have. – 10:05 PM Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
On a bright note, Jordan Poole is 6-of-6 with 15 points. – 10:05 PM Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
It looks like the Warriors are running out of gas. They trail the Spurs 87 to 71 in the third quarter with 5:23 left. – 10:03 PM Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN

HALFTIME: Warriors trail the Spurs, 67-58. After digging a 22-point hole early in the second quarter, Golden State used a 37-19 run to get within four, only to give up a 5-0 spurt to San Antonio. Curry hit his first field goal of the night with 43 seconds left in Q2. – 9:35 PM Melissa Rohlin @melissarohlin
Kerr warned the Warriors that tonight was the perfect trap game. They were coming off a big win over the Suns. The game started at 5:30. He cautioned his guys that they needed the requisite energy. Warning not heeded. They trailed the Spurs by as many as 22 pts in the first half. – 9:34 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Rough start for the Warriors. They’re just 8-for-21 from the field and letting the Spurs get almost anything they want. They look emotionally hungover after snapping Phoenix’s winning streak last night. – 9:04 PM San Antonio Spurs @spurs

Spurs use a 17-0 run to seize a 30-11 lead with 3-plus minutes left in the first quarter. Remember when Steve Kerr called this a “trap game?” – 8:56 PM Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA

Warriors trailing 25-10. Steve Kerr said pregame that this game — an early start on the second night of a back-to-back — was as classic of a trap game as they come. Said it was all about the energy the Warriors came out with. So far, their energy has been seriously lacking. – 8:54 PM Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
9th 15 point lead for the Spurs in 21 games

13-2 Spurs run for the 6 point lead! – 8:49 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Steve Kerr pregame on the ‘trap game’ situation the Warriors are in: Looking for energy. If it’s not there, may have to call a quick timeout.
Calls timeout 4 minutes after tipoff, trailing Spurs 15-9. – 8:49 PM Nick Friedell @NickFriedell
Kerr said pregame that he told his team that this game — an early start on the heels of an intense game last night — would be all about energy. San Antonio has a little more to start. Spurs getting up and down the floor and getting some easy looks. – 8:48 PM Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBA
After an early 5 point lead for the Dubs, the Spurs have started to get multiple stops on defense and their lead is up to 6.
Keldon with all 6 points from 3PT for SA
