Warriors vs Pacers: Game Summary (November 9, 2025)

The Golden State Warriors faced the Indiana Pacers, who were significantly undermanned and played the second game of a back-to-back with 10 players on the injury list. The Warriors were also without Stephen Curry, missing his third consecutive game due to an unspecified illness.

Despite their challenges, the Pacers managed to keep the game close through the second and third quarters. However, they could not overcome the deficit and ultimately lost by a wide margin, 114-83. This defeat extended their losing streak, bringing their record to 1-9 for the season. Their single win was against the Warriors earlier in the year, though that Warriors team now holds a 6-5 record.

Game Dynamics and Key Players

What began as a mismatch—with the Warriors' experienced starters Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green facing a depleted Pacers squad—took an unexpected turn. Golden State quickly built a double-digit lead in the first quarter, suggesting an easy victory. But by halftime, the Pacers, missing key players Pascal Siakam, Bennedict Mathurin, Obi Toppin, and TJ McConnell, had managed to tie the game.

Andrew Nembhard, returning despite a shoulder injury, helped fill the void left by the injured players. Despite these efforts, Indiana could not pull off a comeback.

Significant Milestones and Notes

"The Warriors’ 31-point win is the team’s largest victory in a game without Steph Curry since he entered the NBA in 2009-10."
"Contrary to Steve Kerr’s promise, he missed his third straight game due to an illness."

Author's summary: The Warriors dominated a depleted Pacers squad, securing their biggest win without Curry since 2009, while Indiana’s injury woes prolonged their losing streak.
