Victor Wembanyama recorded 36 points, 14 rebounds, five assists, and four three-pointers to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 117-111 overtime win against the Utah Jazz. The Spurs secured their third consecutive victory, improving their season record to 3-2.
Despite the loss, Utah's Keyonte George scored a season-high 31 points, while Ace Bailey added 19 and rookie Darryn Peterson contributed 18. The Jazz were playing without Lauri Markkanen, Jaren Jackson Jr., and Jusuf Nurkic due to injuries. Utah managed to force overtime after trailing by as many as 11 points, thanks to late scoring from George and Brice Sensabaugh, who scored all six of the Jazz's points in the extra period.
The Spurs responded to the overtime period with a decisive 12-0 run, fueled by aggressive defensive play that forced turnovers and limited Utah to 2-for-7 shooting in the final minutes.
