The Spurs won 113-110 after Nikola Jokic committed a rare turnover in the final seconds of the game on Friday in Denver.

The three-time league MVP returned the compliment by calling Wembanyama “one that’s going to be remembered forever.”

Friday night's contest between the San Antonio Spurs and Denver Nuggets was set to be a pivotal matchup between two teams in the thick of the Western Conference

Alas, Wembanyama, the far-and-away front-runner for Defensive Player of the Year, can make titans look like Spud Webb. The Spurs’ second-year stud did not block the unblockable shot. Instead, he pulled off something more impressive.

Denver Nuggets coach Mike Malone and a score of players spoke very highly of Victor Wembanyama after the 113-110 Spurs win Friday night. Safe to say, it was warranted.

Denver Nuggets guard Russell Westbrook and San Antonio Spurs center Victor Wembanyama got into a lighthearted scuffle on Friday.

Nuggets guard Peyton Watson spoke out about trying to stop Spurs star Victor Wembanyama following Friday's loss.

Victor Wembanyama’s days as a 20-year-old in the NBA are over. He turns 21 on Saturday. And on the final day before that birthday, Wembanyama hit another milestone — 100 NBA games.

Victor Wembanyama stole Nikola Jokic’s pass with 4 seconds left, and the San Antonio Spurs held on to beat the Denver Nuggets 113-110.

In two consecutive fourth quarters, against Denver and Chicago, the Spurs got too complacent, too happy, and too nice, and they paid for it.

That shift away from centers was short-lived. The Denver Nuggets have benefited from having their franchise superstar being a center. Nikola Jokic is generational. He's won three of the past four MVP trophies and led the club to a championship victory in 2023.
