Victor Wembanyama Emotional After 25 Point Spurs Comeback
Merlin sees Victor Wembanyama turn exhaustion into triumph in San Antonio’s 116-112 comeback over the Clippers. Down 25 in the third, the Spurs poured in 35 in both the third and fourth quarters to notch the franchise’s second-biggest rally since 1997. Wembanyama led with 27 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks and said he felt "about to pass out" and that it was "close to being the hardest game of my life." The win pushed San Antonio to 14 wins in 15 games. Merlin notes the magic is not just one night. This is their best 15-game stretch since 2015-16, proof of rising chemistry and Wembanyama’s growing authority. The cost is wear and tear. With only one day off before a big home showdown vs Houston, the Spurs’ depth and minute management will decide if the streak continues.
