Victor Wembanyama delivered the finish himself, burying the winner with 1.1 seconds left as the Spurs rallied past Phoenix. That gave San Antonio a signature late-game highlight and a very clean star-driven latest. 

TL;DR

Reuters reported Wembanyama scored 34, grabbed 12 rebounds, and hit the winner with 1.1 seconds left in a 101 to 100 comeback over the Suns. It was the kind of ending that makes a young star feel even bigger. 

Key Details

• Reuters reported Wembanyama hit the winning shot with 1.1 seconds remaining. 

• He finished with 34 points and 12 rebounds. 

• San Antonio came back after trailing by 10 with under five minutes left. 

• Phoenix lost despite a strong night from Collin Gillespie and Devin Booker. Reuters listed Booker at 22 points. 

Breakdown

This is another pure latest item that does not need much help. Wembanyama got the moment, got the box score, and got the last shot. Reuters also noted the Spurs were in a real hole late, which makes the finish even louder. 

The bigger meaning can wait. The clean takeaway is that San Antonio got a comeback win, Phoenix let one slip, and Wembanyama authored the final scene himself.
