Stephon Castle's mom Quannette comments on son's stellar role in Spurs' victory over Curry's Golden State Warriors: "Stay hungry son!"

San Antonio Spurs rookie Stephon Castle delivered a standout performance on Saturday, leading his team to a commanding 104-94 win over the Western Conference's top-ranked Golden State Warriors. The 20-year-old guard, drafted with a lottery pick, showcased why the Spurs invested in his potential, helping the team improve to a 9-8 record and climb to 11th place in the Western Conference standings.

Castle's 19-point effort against the Warriors turned heads, particularly as he faced off against former MVP Steph Curry. In addition to his scoring, Castle contributed three rebounds, three assists, and a critical steal that cemented the Spurs’ victory.

The young point guard's game-changing plays came in the clutch. With under five minutes remaining and the Spurs trailing by two, Castle drove to the basket for a difficult layup, tying the game. Just 35 seconds later, he sank a deep three-pointer, giving San Antonio a 93-90 lead. Castle’s defensive prowess was on display as well, as he stole the ball from Curry in the final minutes, shutting down any hopes of a Warriors comeback.

Castle’s mother, Quannette, was among those celebrating his performance. Sharing her pride on social media, she posted a concise yet heartfelt message on X: "Winner. Stay hungry son."

While Castle impressed, his teammate Victor Wembanyama also played a pivotal role, recording 25 points and nine rebounds to dominate the Warriors. Together, the duo propelled the Spurs to an impressive team victory.

Through 17 games this season, Castle is averaging 10.9 points, 2.6 rebounds, and 3.6 assists in 26.2 minutes per game. His growth and confidence are becoming critical assets for the Spurs as they aim to rise in the standings.
