Golden State made their daunting third-quarter run that would put away any team in the NBA. The Warriors had a 12-point lead in the fourth quarter and were well on their way to another win.

However, the Spurs wouldn't give up and kept on fighting to make things close enough to get an opportunity to win. Draymond Green and Jimmy Butler made costly turnovers late to give San Antonio possessions that made things dangerously close.
