Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs overcame a 20-point road deficit to defeat the Phoenix Suns 115-114 on Tuesday evening.
Wembanyama scored nine of his 18 points in the fourth, including a mid-range jumper and a putback dunk on back-to-back possessions to cut the Suns’ lead to 114-113.
Spurs forward Keldon Johnson then snatched the ball from Suns superstar Kevin Durant and scored with one second left to put San Antonio up one.

A KD shot at the other end did not fall through, and San Antonio completed its incredible comeback.
Wembanyama had his share of struggles through three quarters before turning it on in the fourth, but his flashes of brilliance on both ends can’t be understated.
For starters, he authored a poster dunk on Suns center Drew Eubanks in the second quarter.

Wembanyama also stroked a three-poiner and followed that up with a block on Grayson Allen without leaving the floor.

What a freaking game! I feel like I experienced every emotion possible
Wemby, Tre, and Keldon came in clutch at the end. Exactly the kind of game the Spurs would not have won last season, or the year before for that matter

Pounding the Rock @poundingtherock
What a freaking win by this super young Spurs squad. In largeeee part to Keldon. Wemby and Vassell came up big late.
This is a quintessential building block win.

They were trying to cook Wemby when he was 1/4 close to half time only for him to finish with 50% FG efficiency. Elite players always find a way. https://t.co/xbac2k8QwT
😈 @WembyToSpurs
well he fucking did it because he’s Wembanyama. https://t.co/L8B3k7PTpn
Wembanyama and the 2-2 Spurs will stay in Phoenix to play the Suns once again on Thursday evening.
