With a 17-foot fadeaway and 1.1 seconds left, Victor Wembanyama lifted the San Antonio Spurs to a 101-100 win over the Phoenix Suns, sealing the franchise’s first playoff appearance in six years. It was also the first go-ahead make in the final five seconds of regulation or overtime in Wembanyama’s NBA career.
The French star finished with 34 points, 12 rebounds and 3 steals, while De’Aaron Fox added 23 points and helped orchestrate the final possession. San Antonio became the second NBA team to clinch a postseason berth, capping a major turnaround after years away from the playoffs.
The ending also featured a memorable scene, as a courtside fan spilled red wine on Wembanyama’s shorts during the celebration moments before the buzzer. After the win, teammates and fans erupted, with San Antonio even breaking into MVP chants for the young star.
