The San Antonio Spurs edged the Phoenix Suns 101–100 on March 19 at Frost Bank Center in a defensive battle that fell short of the Vegas total of 228.5 points. Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 34 points, while Devin Fox added 23 in the winning effort. The Suns countered with Cole Gillespie's 24 points and Devin Booker's 22, but couldn't close the one-point gap. San Antonio shot 42.2 percent from the field and made 10 three-pointers, while Phoenix answered with 41.8 percent shooting and 11 threes made. The Spurs' fourth-quarter execution proved decisive—they outscored Phoenix 28–21 in the final period after trailing in the second quarter when the Suns erupted for 33 points. Phoenix's 27 assists and 47 rebounds demonstrated ball movement and rebounding dominance, yet San Antonio's 23 assists and defensive rating of 100.5 held firm when it mattered. The Spurs' narrow victory improves their late-season positioning in the Western Conference playoff race.
