San Antonio was able to use that lead as a foundation to control the game. Even when Indiana built a lead of their own, San Antonio was able to stay in the contest. An 11-0 run by the Spurs midway through the third quarter gave them a lead that they wouldn't relinquish.

The Pacers crept up and cut the deficit to a single point with under five minutes to go, but a 10-0 run gave the Spurs a cushion comfy enough to ride the wave to victory.

Victor Wembanyama continued his electric rookie season, leading the Spurs with xx points on xx of xx shooting from the floor. He also grabbed 12 rebounds and dished out six assists while blocking six shots.

T.J. McConnell led the Pacers in scoring with 26 points off the bench. All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton struggled, managing just 12 points while missing all six of his 3-point attempts.

NBA Trade Idea: Rockets' Green to Spurs?
