Victor Wembanyama starred for San Antonio in Game 3, scoring 32 points, grabbing 8 rebounds, and dishing out 6 assists. He also was a menace on the defensive end, recording 3 blocks and 2 steals.

Stephon Castle added 23 points for the Spurs, who snapped the Knicks' 13-game winning streak. He drained a clutch triple to beat the buzzer with 1:54 left to give San Antonio a 111-104 lead.

There's no quit with the Knicks, though, as Jalen Brunson and OG Anunoby buried back-to-back triples to cut the deficit to two at 111-113 with 9.4 seconds left.

Castle sealed the victory for the Spurs, though, knocking down two clutch free throws for the final score.

Brunson and Anunoby had monster performances for the Knicks, dropping 32 and 28 points, respectively, in Game 3.
