Golden State was without Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant and Klay Thompson, AND lost Draymond Green to a second quarter injury, so an 89-75 San Antonio win makes a little sense.
But the Spurs still played well defensively, holding Golden State to 15% shooting from three and 40% overall. San Antonio's offense ran through LaMarcus Aldridge all night and the 6-11 post player scored 33 points on 13-of-22 shooting and added 12 rebounds.
Green didn't score and grabbed just three rebounds in 12 minutes before the injury, so Quinn Cook stepped up and scored a team-high 20 points.
Without those four all stars, Golden State scored its fewest points since a hilarious, great-day-in-the-Big-10, 76-74 loss to San Antonio in November, 2013.

Kawhi Leonard, my goodness. Leonard scored 43 points, including the tying three in the corner with 10 seconds left in overtime. Unfortunately for the Spurs, Marc Gasol's 12-foot floater with less than a second to go was the difference in Memphis' 110-108 victory. Memphis, which was swept by the Spurs in last season's opening round, evened the best-of-7 series at 2-2 with game five set for April 25.
Leonard, who scored the last 16 (!) San Antonio points in regulation & also had six of his team's 11 steals, and Mike Conley (franchise postseason-record 35 points, nine rebounds, eight assists) went back and forth all game.
Gasol (16 and 12) also beat the halftime buzzer with a Conley-assisted long two.

Game 1 - San Antonio Spurs at Oklahoma City Thunder
October 28 at Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City, OK
ESPN
What an excellent opener for 200 Game Season as the Thunder erased a seven-point, fourth quarter deficit to win 112-106.
Russell Westbrook had a great night - 33 points and 10 assists - but it was back up guard Dion Waiters who hit the tying (pull-up jumper with 2:12 left) and go-ahead (fall away at 1:34) baskets for Oklahoma City.
Kawhi Leonard is a pleasure to watch and Wednesday he led the Spurs with his first-career 30-point game (he scored 32) and played excellent defense throughout. I can't believe he hasn't yet made an all-star team, but I think that changes this season.
* ESPN's Doris Burke interviewed new OKC coach Billy Donovan before the start of the fourth and he had this to say about Westbrook:
"He's been great all year long."
All one hour and 54 minutes long?
