Spurs smother Warriors in clash of titans (AFP)

The San Antonio Spurs shut down Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, winning the clash of NBA heavyweights 87-79 to remain perfect on their home floor this season. The reigning NBA champion Warriors might be marching toward a single-season record for victories, but they still couldn't find a way to win in San Antonio, where they haven't come away with a victory since February 14, 1997. The Spurs, who have put together a magnificent season in the shadow of Golden State, improved to 59-10 and 35-0 at home.
