The Golden State Warriors tried nearly everything in a 2 April 2026 matchup with the San Antonio Spurs, even unleashing an opposite-handed free throw and leaving a starter on the court for 47 of the game’s 48 minutes. The unconventional moves were not enough, and Golden State slipped to a defeat at Chase Center.
According to the team, a Warriors player switched hands at the line during the second half, hoping to spark a rally. Moments later, another starter remained in the contest well past his usual workload, finishing just 60 seconds shy of playing the entire night.
Head coach Steve Kerr turned to the drastic measures with his club chasing a Western Conference playoff berth. San Antonio’s balanced attack, however, maintained control down the stretch and secured the win.
The loss dropped Golden State further in the standings as the regular season winds down. The Spurs, meanwhile, collected a confidence-boosting road victory after a string of tight games.
No immediate update was provided on whether the Warriors will continue the switch-hand strategy or heavy minutes rotation in upcoming contests.
