Welcome to the scouting desk. The coffee is cold, the film is play-by-play, and somebody has to explain what happened.
Every game has a hinge — a stretch where it was decided, usually while everyone was watching something else. Start where the evidence lives: the Lineups' face-offs say which five actually won their minutes; the Possessions ledger says who ran ahead of the night's own pace; the Shot Chart says where the points really came from, which is rarely where the highlights were. When all three agree, that is the story. When they don't — that is why this desk has a chair.

SAN ANTONIO -- — Stephen Curry had 33 points and the Golden State Warriors held on to beat the undermanned San Antonio Spurs 117-113 on Sunday night for their fourth straight victory.
With his family in town to celebrate Easter, Curry helped Golden State overcome a sloppy start and finish 4-1 on its trip.
“I think Steph was really extra motivated to play well in front of his kids and (his wife,) Ayesha,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said. “He played a great game. There was a lot of pressure on him out there. (San Antonio point guard) Tre Jones does a really good job defensively, (but) he found a way to get free and hit some big shots.”
Curry was 12 for 23 from the field, hitting 7 of 15 3-pointer attempts, as Golden State clings to the final play-in spot in the Western Conference — two games ahead of Houston after the Rockets’ home loss to Dallas on Sunday.
Spurs center Victor Wembanyama had 32 points and nine rebounds.
“He is a very, very, very, very special talent,” Warriors forward Draymond Green said. “I was just telling Trayce (Jackson-Davis) and those guys, I’m happy I had an opportunity to play against him now because they’ll have to deal with him a lot later and I won’t be in the league no more.”
Wembanyama was called for an over-the-back foul on what would have been his 10th rebound with four seconds remaining. Green made one of two free throws to seal the victory.
“Draymond was incredible tonight,” Kerr said. “That was a defensive masterpiece. The offensive board at the end with the ( Brandin Podziemski ) 3 was probably the play of the game. You can see when you watch that game, Draymond is a genius defensively.”
Green finished with 21 points and 11 rebounds.
