The Memphis Grizzlies ended their four-game losing streak Tuesday night, narrowly defeating the San Antonio Spurs 106-105. Cam Spencer led the charge with 21 points, including crucial baskets in the final 1:26 that sealed the victory. His 10-foot baseline jumper with 36.5 seconds remaining proved to be the decisive score.
Victor Wembanyama, returning after a two-game absence, put up a valiant 30 points for the Spurs. However, his efforts, along with Julian Champagnie's 23 points, were not enough. De'Aaron Fox's potential game-winning shot was blocked by Santi Aldama in the final seconds.
Memphis trailed late in the game but rallied thanks to Spencer's late-game heroics and a strong third quarter where they erased an 11-point deficit. Jaren Jackson Jr. also contributed 21 points for the Grizzlies, who look to build momentum on their homestand.
