After winning 5 straight contests at home, the Golden State Warriors started their 2-game road trip with a 14-point win at Houston. On Tuesday night, playing without the likes of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green, Otto Porter Jr., Andre Iguodala, and Nemanja Bjelica, the GSW ‘B’ team stunned the Spurs.
After leading for the majority of the bout, the short-handed Warriors managed to upset SAS in a come-from-the-back 4-point win. Jordan Poole led the team with 31 points, 6 rebounds, and 5 assists. Damion Lee, Kevon Looney, and Jonathan Kuminga combined for 52 points, 8 assists, and 20 rebounds.
However, it was rookie Moses Moody who was the star of the night. The 19-year-old recorded a career-high 20 points. Knocking down 6 three-pointers in the bout, Moody now has the most number of three-pointers recorded in a single game by a Warriors rookie since Stephen Curry.

Career-high 20 points on 6 made threes for Moses Moody tonight.
Good to see him get more minutes and I still believe he can be a shrewd draft pick by the Warriors given the shots Moody will get over there. pic.twitter.com/OE2BuejiHL
