On Wednesday, the San Antonio Spurs pulled off an incredible victory. Keldon Johnson plucked the ball from Kevin Durant in the corner, drove to the rim, and put the Spurs up 115-114 over the Phoenix Suns with just 1.2 seconds left in the game. It not only ended up being the final score, but it was also the Spurs’ first lead of the game.
As one would expect, Durant was frustrated in the moment and after the game. Suns head coach Frank Vogel even said that they believe Durant got fouled on the play. Regardless, one of the subplots of the contest was Durant’s first on-court encounter with Victor Wembanyama.
After the game, Wembanyama said Durant is his favorite player, and the Suns superstar had the perfect response.
