However, Victor Wembanyama responded with a fadeaway jump shot to regain the lead for the Spurs. The back-and-forth scoring continued, with Julian Champagnie and Derrick White contributing to the scoreboard, but the Celtics could not overcome the Spurs' late-game execution.
Overall, the matchup showcased the resilience of the Spurs, who managed to pull off a victory despite the challenges posed by injuries and a determined Celtics team. The Celtics will look to regroup and address their injury concerns as they move forward in the season.
