Victor Wembanyama delivered a dominant performance with 36 points and 14 rebounds to guide the San Antonio Spurs to a hard-fought 117-111 overtime win against the Utah Jazz on Wednesday night. The Spurs, now with a 3-2 record, extended their winning streak to three games.
Devin Vassell provided essential support for San Antonio, contributing 17 of his 21 points in the second half. The Jazz, playing without several key big men due to injuries, were led by Keyonte George's season-high 31 points. However, George appeared fatigued late in the game, as the Spurs' aggressive defense stifled the Jazz in overtime.
After trailing by as many as 11 points earlier, the Jazz managed to force overtime with back-to-back baskets in the final moments of regulation. Brice Sensabaugh hit a 3-pointer to start the extra period, but the Spurs responded with a decisive 12-0 run, ultimately securing their victory. San Antonio's defense forced four turnovers and limited Utah to just 2-of-7 shooting in overtime.
