Spurs' Barnes Beats Warriors with Buzzer-Beater

The Golden State Warriors suffered a critical 114-111 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, significantly impacting their playoff standings. Key to this unexpected defeat was a buzzer-beating three-pointer by former Warrior Harrison Barnes, pushing the Warriors down to seventh in the Western Conference and into the play-in tournament. Despite holding a substantial lead, the Warriors were outperformed in the final quarter, with turnovers and poor shooting percentages contributing to their downfall. Draymond Green highlighted the team's lack of grit, while Stephen Curry led the Warriors with 30 points. The Spurs, led by Stephon Castle and Keldon Johnson, capitalized on the Warriors' mistakes, with Barnes scoring 20 points including his game-winning shot. The Warriors now rely on other teams' losses to secure a better playoff position.
