San Antonio Spurs

Devin Vassell scored 21 points, De'Aaron Fox added 20, and San Antonio overcame a rough shooting night from Victor Wembanyama to extend its season-best winning streak to 10 games with a 110-107 victory Wednesday.

Wembanyama finished with 12 points on 3-of-12 shooting, including 1 of 6 from beyond the arc, but still made his presence felt with eight rebounds and five blocks. His rejection of Jakob Poeltl with 44 seconds remaining proved pivotal, and he secured the final rebound after Brandon Ingram missed a potential tying 3-pointer in the closing seconds.

Dylan Harper scored 15 points, Stephon Castle had 13 and Julian Champagnie added 10 as the Spurs won their fifth straight meeting with Toronto. A Luke Kornet dunk midway through the fourth gave San Antonio the lead for good after the Raptors opened the quarter 0 for 8 from the field.

Ingram led Toronto with 20 points and a season-high 11 rebounds, while Immanuel Quickley also scored 20 and Scottie Barnes added 15. The Raptors dropped their third straight home game.

Rookie Collin Murray-Boyles started against Wembanyama but exited in the third quarter with a sore left thumb. Poeltl returned from a one-game absence due to a sore lower back and came off the bench.

Up next: The Spurs visit the Brooklyn Nets on Thursday. The Raptors travel to face the Washington Wizards on Saturday.
