Warriors' Pat Spencer Shines in First Start, Leading Team to Victory

In a stunning showcase at Rocket Arena, Pat Spencer led the Golden State Warriors to a 99-94 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in his first NBA start. Spencer scored a career-high 19 points, with 12 of those coming in the crucial fourth quarter, and added seven assists.

Despite the Warriors missing key players including Stephen Curry, Draymond Green, and Jimmy Butler due to injuries, Spencer's energetic performance helped shift the momentum in favor of Golden State, which outscored the Cavs 33-18 in the second quarter.

Gui Santos contributed 14 points off the bench, further showcasing the depth of the Warriors' roster. The game was tight down the stretch, with the Warriors leading 96-91 in the final minute. After Evan Mobley cut the lead to two points, Spencer secured a critical rebound and made two free throws to seal the victory.
