Victor Wembanyama scored 34 points as the San Antonio Spurs stunned the Denver Nuggets 121-120 on Friday (Saturday, Manila time) to upend the race for the No. 1 seeding in the NBA Western Conference.

SAN ANTONIO, TX - APRIL 12: Nikola Jokic #15 of the Denver Nuggets scores despite the efforts of Victor Wembanyama #1 of the San Antonio Spurs in the first half at Frost Bank Center on April 12, 2024 in San Antonio, Texas.

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." However the loss against the team that is bottom of the conference with a 21-60 record leaves everything hanging in the balance heading into Sunday's final regular season fixtures.

Friday's results mean that leaders Oklahoma City, Minnesota and Denver are all level on 56-25, ensuring the race for top spot and home advantage will go down to the wire. The Sixers have now won seven games straight in a late season run that has coincided with Embiid's return from a two-month injury layoff.
