SAN ANTONIO -- Fresh off a three-game layoff, Spurs star Victor Wembanyama exhibited rust early, only to catch a groove late in pushing San Antonio to its second-largest comeback win of the season, a 104-94 triumph over Golden State.
"I thought he was a grown man in the fourth quarter," Spurs interim coach Mitch Johnson said of Wembanyama.
Three days after rallying from 20 down to defeat Utah, the Spurs bounced back Saturday from a 17-point deficit to shock the Warriors, who were playing the second night of a back-to-back set. San Antonio's performance marked the first time since 2017 it overcame 15-plus point deficits in consecutive contests.
