SAN ANTONIO -- Victor Wembanyama had a career-high 40 points and added 20 rebounds and seven assists, and the San Antonio Spurs overcame Jalen Brunson's career-best 61 points to beat the New York Knicks 130-126 in overtime on Friday night.

Brunson finished one point shy of Carmelo Anthony's franchise record of 62 points on Jan. 24, 2014, missing a 3-pointer that would have given the Knicks the lead with 5.4 seconds remaining in OT.

Brunson had the fifth-highest point total in the NBA this season.
