The San Antonio Spurs extended their winning streak to two games, recording a thrilling 100-95 victory over the Boston Celtics on Sunday (PH time) at the TD Garden. The Spurs used a strong finishing kick in the fourth quarter to secure their fourth victory in the last six games.
The Spurs finished the contest on a 16-6 run to turn an 84-89 deficit into a five-point win in the end. Keldon Johnson scored seven points during that stretch, including a triple with 2:15 left that gave San Antonio a 93-91 lead.
Victor Wembanyama sealed the win for the Spurs, knocking down a clutch midrange jumper with 19.1 seconds left to give San Antonio a 99-95 lead. Julian Champagnie then ended the Celtics’ hopes of a late-game rally, blocking Derrick White’s 3-point attempt on the other end for a key defensive stop.

To be honest, Brown and White are really strong, but unfortunately, we have an even stronger Wembanyama, haha

Tough, but when we need Wemby the most is here. Great job to let him play the final minutes...

If Tatum returns, the Celtics will most likely win this game by a large margin

Wemby's value is far beyond what statistics can reflect, just like LeBron, which is truly terrifying
