The Spurs rallied from a 14-point deficit to take the lead in the final minute of the fourth quarter, but with the game tied at 104, Victor Wembanyama threw a pass behind an unsuspecting teammate’s back and Jalen Brunson stole the ball. Brunson was fouled and made one of two free throws to take the lead. Wembanyama then took a potential game-winning shot, but missed.
