Wemby emotional after Spurs' 25-point comeback over Clippers - ESPN

SAN ANTONIO — As Spurs coach Mitch Johnson addressed reporters after a 116-112 win on Friday over the LA Clippers, jubilation rumbled inside the team's locker room a few feet behind him.

On the second night of a back-to-back, San Antonio had just overcome a 25-point deficit, the club's second-largest comeback in the play-by-play era (since 1997-98), to run its record since Feb. 1 to a league-best 14-1. That's the team's best mark in a 15-game span since the 2015-16 season, when the Spurs captured a franchise-record 67 wins, according to ESPN research.

«I've got zero left right now,» said Victor Wembanyama, who told ESPN during his postgame on-court interview that he was «about to pass out.»

«That was one of the best wins,» he added. «That was one of the best games, best parts of my career, my basketball life.»

Wembanyama scored a team-high 27 points, including the go-ahead score in which he hauled in a long strike in transition from De'Aaron Fox and dunked it in with 16 ticks remaining, sending Frost Bank Center into a frenzy.

«That was probably the last [fast] break I had in my body,» said Wembanyama, who also had 10 rebounds and four blocks in 22 minutes.

Fox, meanwhile, scored or assisted on 25 of San Antonio's 35 fourth-quarter points and finished the night with 19 points and 9 assists.

«This one felt good,» Fox said. «This one felt better than yesterday.»

Against the East-leading Detroit Pistons on Thursday, Wembanyama and Fox scored 38 and 29 points, respectively, to become the first San Antonio teammates since 2018 to each score 20-plus points in the same half of a game, according to ESPN Research. The combined effort lifted the Spurs to a decisive victory that moved them to 6-1 against the leading teams in each
