The Warriors score 114.9 points per game. They face a Spurs team that limits opponents’ shots and points effectively. The combination of the Warriors’ average scoring and the Spurs’ defense could result in fewer total points.
Both teams have shown solid defensive stats. The Spurs are ranked high in field goal percentage allowed, and the Warriors are not far behind. With both teams’ defenses performing well, the total score might stay under 226.5.
