On January 11th in the NBA regular season, the San Antonio Spurs edged out the Boston Celtics 100-95, with Victor Wembanyama emerging as the game-winner. The No.1 overall pick tallied 21 points, 6 rebounds and 3 blocks, knocking down consecutive crucial shots in the fourth quarter to seal the victory, demonstrating the potential of a supernova leader.

The Spurs showcased balanced scoring: De'Aaron Fox delivered an all-around performance with 21 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists, Keldon Johnson notched a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds, and Sidy Cissoko efficiently anchored the interior with 12 points and 13 rebounds.

For the Celtics, Derrick White shone against his former team, erupting for 29 points, 2 steals and 2 blocks as the team's lone standout, while Jaylen Brown maintained his consistency with 27 points, 8 rebounds and 7 assists. The Celtics fell short due to insufficient overall offensive efficiency. Blake Wesley struggled offensively, scoring only 9 points and dishing out 5 assists on 3-of-16 shooting, which stands as the only concern for the Spurs.
