Houston beat San Antonio 114-110 in Austin. Victor Wembanyama banked in a long three in the final seconds, but it was waved off because Spurs coach Mitch Johnson had called timeout with 5 seconds left. On the next possession Amen Thompson blocked Wembanyama's tying layup attempt with less than a second left, and Fred VanVleet made two free throws. Alperen Sengun scored 29, including eight straight in the fourth; Kevin Durant had 20 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, and Thompson 20 and 10. Wembanyama had 25 and 13 and Dylan Harper 20 as the Spurs fell to 0-2.

Fantasy angleSengun has 52 points in two games; Thompson is double-double material (20-10, 16-10).
