Make up for the season and became the biggest favorite to win the championship. The Warriors accidentally played a big ironclad game in the home opening game on the 26th! Facing the strong rebound protection and scoring firepower of the "Blackshirts" Spurs, the Warriors were powerless to resist. Under Kawhi Leonard's career high of 35 points, 5 rebounds and 5 interceptions, the Spurs defeated the Warriors 129 to 100, making Stephen Curry and KD-led Warriors in their first battle.
Durant showed his strong touch after "Thunder Emperor becomes Brave Emperor", and was able to compete with his opponent Spurs for a time. However, the Blackshirts not only performed well in the start, but also continued to support the bench firepower. Jonathon Simmons had excellent offense and defense, helping the Spurs to gain a strong lead of 18 points in the first half.

In this game, the scheming Spurs coach Popovich (Gregg Popovich) made another strange move. As long as Ke Rui's firepower began to heat up, he immediately called for a timeout, directly interrupting the momentum of the Warriors, and also preventing the Bay Area Legion at home from boosting momentum.
Although the Warriors have repeatedly chased the score to about 10 points in the third quarter, the Spurs' new top player Renard showed steady firepower, and once made a strong cut, he pulled the score to 16 points. Then Simmons staged a defensive nail board "soul-chasing pot" to cover the top player of Warriors, allowing the Blackshirts to lead a 9-0 offensive, leading to 22 points.
The Spurs continued to expand the score in the last quarter, and the bench still opened to lead by 28 points. Even though Durant and Klay Thompson tried to catch up, they were still embarrassed to lose the home game in the opening game.
The Spurs had Renard scored a career-high of 35 points, 5 rebounds and 5 interceptions in the whole game. Adridge (LaMarcus Aldridge) scored 26 points and 14 rebounds, and Simmons also played the Bench Raider to contribute 20 points.
The Warriors who unexpectedly lost in the opening game of the home court, Curry scored 26 points and 4 assists, Durant transferred to the team's first game and scored the best 27 points in the team, 10 rebounds and 4 assists, 2 interceptions and hotpot each. Draymond Green (Draymond Green) scored 18 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists and 5 interceptions.
