Spurs secure last-second victory, upset Suns
In a stunning turn of events, the San Antonio Spurs clinched a 115-114 victory against the Phoenix Suns, with Keldon Johnson’s clutch layup securing the win with a mere 1.2 seconds left on the clock.
Despite trailing by 20 points during the game, the Spurs managed to break their nine-game losing streak against the Suns, showcasing a formidable fourth-quarter performance that outscored their opponents 33-19.
Johnson emerged as the leading scorer for San Antonio, contributing 27 points to the hard-fought triumph, while the team rebounded from a demoralizing 40-point defeat against the Los Angeles Clippers just days earlier.
Rookie Victor Wembanyama contributed 18 points and securing eight crucial rebounds in the contest. Devin Vassell also delivered a notable performance, matching Wembanyama’s 18-point contribution for the Spurs.
Despite Phoenix’s commendable efforts, highlighted by Kevin Durant’s 26-point display and Eric Gordon’s 20-point contribution, the Suns were unable to maintain their initial lead, facing the challenging task of competing without the injured starting guards, Bradley Beal and Devin Booker.
As the Spurs regrouped after a sluggish start, they managed to mount a compelling comeback, capitalizing on critical opportunities in the closing stages of the game to secure the upset victory over the Suns.
