Posted 3 months ago

Victor Wembanyama had a standout performance, scoring an impressive 34 points, helping the San Antonio Spurs pull off a surprising win against the Denver Nuggets.

This victory has injected new energy into the race for the top seed in the Western Conference, shaking up the standings and keeping fans on the edge of their seats.

Denver had a clear path to securing the top spot and home advantage in the playoffs with two wins in their final two games.

However, their recent loss, coupled with victories for the Minnesota Timberwolves and the Oklahoma City Thunder, has created a three-way tie at the summit of the standings, marking the first time in NBA history such a scenario has occurred with one game remaining.

Victor Wembanyama, 20, had a stellar performance, contributing 34 points, 12 rebounds, five assists, and two blocks. Devonte' Graham's clutch jumper with 0.9 seconds remaining sealed the victory for the San Antonio Spurs.

Despite this crucial win, San Antonio remains tied with the Portland Trail Blazers at the bottom of the Western Conference.

Meanwhile, at the top, Oklahoma City defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 125-107, and Minnesota emerged as 109-106 victors against Atlanta.

Oklahoma City currently leads the Conference due to their better head-to-head record against the other two teams, with Minnesota in second place and Denver in third.

Denver's only chance to reclaim the top spot is if both Oklahoma City and Minnesota lose their final games on Sunday.
