The Spurs were able to cut the deficit to as little as six points in the third quarter, but that was as close as they got. By the end of the frame, the Nets were back up 18 and were able to cruise to the finish line.

No. 1 overall pick Victor Wembanyama led all Spurs in scoring with 21 points while Devin Vassell dropped 17 and Keldon Johnson added 19 off the bench.
