Spurs give up 20-point lead, lose to Raptors in overtime

After two gutsy wins in Phoenix, the San Antonio Spurs got a taste of their own medicine against the Toronto Raptors. Despite leading by 20 points in the third quarter, San Antonio lost to the Raptors 123-116 in overtime.

It took awhile for the Spurs to get going in the first quarter, but once they took the lead, they didn’t give it back until overtime. Early in the game, the Spurs were effective turning the Raptors over and stopping their interior attack. Offensively, they were attacking the basket and utilizing Victor Wembanyama in the pick and roll.
