If you have been following the Phoenix Suns vs. San Antonio Spurs match tonight, you are currently not in a state to even deal with the results. Well, no one was expecting such a turn of events this late in the game. Bradley Beal and Devin Bookers are a must-have now to maintain the lead that the other players achieve early in the game.

The second unit, being the most crucial, was a weak point for the Suns tonight at the Footprint Center.

With Beal, Booker-less Suns, the responsibility shifted to Kevin Durant. With that in mind, the battle between the No. 1 pick and future HOfer lived up to the hype with a wild ending. While the Spurs were trailing behind all throughout the first half, the fourth quarter did its magic. No doubt, Keldon Jhonson and Wemby make a great team, because tonight they created a 33-19 lead in the last quarter.

Not only that, Victor Wembanyama ended the game with a marvelous three-pointer, assisted by Devin Vassell. Making an appearance on the house of highlights post-game, Wemby said, “It wasn’t our prettiest game, but you know we are learning every day and we are on the right path.”

When asked about how patient he is to prune his skills to become a championship contender, Wemby laughed and made a statement. He said, “As patient as we need to be. You know, I am new here. I am just learning. I don’t know what it takes to win a championship yet, but I am eager to find out.”

With a score of 18 points, 8 rebounds, and 1 assist, “The Alien” indeed shut down those who were speculating another loss for the Spurs. Stay tuned as we cover the intricacies of the post-game scenario.
