GAME REWIND
Victor Wembanyama finished with 20 points and 10 rebounds. Julian Champagnie had 18 points and two rebounds, Keldon Johnson finished with four, Harrison Barnes had 19 and two rebounds, and Chris Paul had five points and six assists.
In his return to the court, Devin Vassell added 14 points, and Stephon Castle scored 10 points and seven assists.
San Antonio was without Jeremy Sochan due to injury. Head coach Gregg Popovich was also out due to illness. Assistant coach Mitch Johnson assumed head coaching duties for the game.
"At the end of the day, there's no excuses. We got to do better on that," Champagnie said. "I said last time, we hang our hats on that (defense), and of course, so if that's what we're going to do, we have to come do it every night, even if it's a loss. We want to play 48 minutes of good defensive basketball."
