Overview
- San Antonio beat Boston 100-95 at TD Garden, with Victor Wembanyama scoring 21 points and hitting a game-clinching jumper with about 19 seconds left after a 16-point second half.
- Derrick White led Boston with 29 points and Jaylen Brown had 27, but the Celtics attempted only four free throws to the Spurs’ 20, and Brown finished with zero trips to the line.
- Brown sharply criticized the officiating postgame and singled out crew chief Curtis Blair, highlighting what he called inconsistent foul calls in matchups against top teams.
- The result followed Boston’s 125-117 win over an injury-depleted Raptors team a night earlier, when Payton Pritchard scored 27–28 with eight assists and Brown added 25 with 12 made free throws as the Celtics shot about 54% overall and 50% from three.
- Boston finished the four-game homestand 2-2 to move to 24-14, played the Spurs without Sam Hauser (hamstring), started rookie Hugo Gonzalez, used Jordan Walsh on Wembanyama early, and now heads to Indiana on Monday.
