Spurs Stage Dramatic Comeback to Defeat Trail Blazers

San Antonio rallies from 17 points down in the fourth quarter, led by Victor Wembanyama's clutch free throws and strong team effort.

  • Victor Wembanyama scored 28 points, including two decisive free throws with 2.4 seconds left, to secure the Spurs' 118-116 victory over Portland.
  • The Spurs overcame a 17-point fourth-quarter deficit, fueled by a 24-4 run and key contributions from Devin Vassell, Julian Champagnie, and Jeremy Sochan.
  • Despite missing four rotation players due to injuries and losing Chris Paul to an ejection in the first quarter, San Antonio showcased resilience and depth.
  • Wembanyama's poise at the free-throw line (10-for-10) and Sochan's defensive effort in limiting Anfernee Simons in the final minutes were pivotal to the win.
  • The victory improves the Spurs' record to 13-12 and highlights their growing confidence in crunch-time situations under acting coach Mitch Johnson.
