Victor Wembanyama's standout performance, including 28 points, led the San Antonio Spurs to a thrilling 115-114 comeback victory against the Phoenix Suns. Wembanyama also grabbed 8 rebounds and blocked 4 shots, while Kevin Durant contributed 26 points and 7 assists for the Suns. The Spurs erased a 10-point deficit in the final 5 minutes, with Keldon Johnson making a game-winning steal and layup with 1.2 seconds left. Johnson's leadership was highlighted as a key factor in the Spurs' victory. The Spurs at one point had a 27 point lead in the game, their first 15 point lead of the season. Wembanyama's pregame outfit drew attention, and his clutch scoring, including 20 points in a half, was also noted. The Suns had to overcome a 27 point deficit. Devin Booker scored 29 points for the Suns, while Devin Vassell's injury was a setback for the Spurs.
Incredible consecutive wins by the Spurs in Phoenix. Wemby is the real deal. Dominant player.
Spurs' 27 point lead cut down to 3. Keita Bates-Diop, who signed with Phoenix in offseason, has 10 points off the bench
Suns have cut the Spurs' 27 point lead down to 8. Wemby resting and no Vassell, who is out due to injury (who has been key in crunch time). Booker with 29 points, 15 points from the 3PT line
Vassell is out for the night and Booker has pretty emphatically found the game in these last few minutes, which means this 4th quarter could get interesting. Spurs lead 103-89 after 3. Wemby with 28 points 7 reb.
