Spurs defenders become viral meme material as Steph Curry torches San Antonio

The San Antonio Spurs faced their biggest challenge of the season against the Golden State Warriors this week. Steph Curry was cooking at an elite level, and the Spurs defender proved to be no challenge to him as the Warriors star helped his team win back-to-back on the road.

On Friday, the Warriors emerged as 109-108 winners in an NBA Cup group stage game. The Spurs defenders were on the receiving end of a 49-point special episode of 'Chef' Curry. The Warriors guard was a nightmare for the Spurs on the floor as he shot 16 of 26 field goals, including 9-of-17 from deep.

Just a day before, Curry had a 46-point outing to win a 125-120 contest against the Spurs. Combined, both games, the four-time NBA champion has scored 95 points, 14 threes, while shooting a blistering 56.9% from the field in two games against the Spurs. He has been solid from the 3-point line (42.4%) and the charity stripe (95.80%).
