In a game that did not feature both teams' top players, the San Antonio Spurs overwhelmed the Golden State Warriors, 107-85, to continue in their chase for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.

The Spurs were without MVP candidate Kawhi Leonard (concussion protocol) and veteran point guard Tony Parker, but got solid performances from Patty Mills, Kyle Anderson, and David Lee as they again crushed the Warriors.

San Antonio had also routed Golden State, 129-100, when they met in their first game of the season.

The Spurs surged to a 33-22 lead at the end of the first quarter, then went on to lead by as much as 28 points against the Warriors, who have now lost three straight games.

Ian Clark led the Warriors with 36 points off the bench.

San Antonio improved to 51-14, which put them just half a game behind Golden State (52-14) in the Western Conference.
