The San Antonio Spurs, led by Victor Wembanyama's double-double performance, secured a thrilling 113-112 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. This win marked Wembanyama's first back-to-back completion since mid-November. Despite Anthony Edwards' impressive game for the Timberwolves, the Spurs, with contributions from Devin Vassell and Wembanyama, rallied to edge out their opponents. Spurs' coach Gregg Popovich hailed the victory as the 'Best Win' of the Wembanyama era. However, following this high, the Spurs faced a setback in their next game against the Washington Wizards. After leading by double digits, the Spurs were unable to maintain their advantage, with the Wizards mounting a comeback to ultimately win 113-118, overcoming a 14-point deficit in the first half and a 10-point Spurs lead in the second half.
