Giddey’s Thunder the big NBA playoffs winners as reigning champs choke in shock collapse

Aussie's shine in NBA: Wrap | 01:30Victor Wembanyama scored 34 points as the San Antonio Spurs stunned the Denver Nuggets 121-120 to upend the race for the No. 1 seeding in the NBA Western Conference .

The result delighted San Antonio’s veteran coach Gregg Popovich, who saw his team recover from a 23-point deficit early in the third quarter to snatch victory. “Everybody contributed, they deserved it. They should all go get a beer, or a Coke, or whatever they do.” The Nuggets are now third behind Oklahoma City, who pummeled the Milwaukee Bucks 125-107, and Minnesota, 109-106 winners over Atlanta.

Orlando could have clinched a postseason berth with a win, but instead now face a nervous finale to the season.
