The San Antonio Spurs edged the Toronto Raptors 110-107 on Wednesday, pushing their NBA winning streak to 10 games and closing in on Western Conference leaders Oklahoma City Thunder, who fell to the Detroit Pistons. Devin Vassell scored 21 points and De’Aaron Fox added 20 for the Spurs, who overcame a lackluster night from superstar Victor Wembanyama to push their win streak to double digits for the first time since the 2015-16 season. The French big man connected on just three of 12 shots on the way to 12 points in the face of a determined Raptors defense.

The clash lost some luster with Oklahoma City’s reigning NBA Most Valuable Player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander headlining a raft of Thunder absentees as he missed a ninth straight game with an abdominal strain. With Antetokounmpo missing a 13th straight game with a calf injury, Kevin Porter Jr. led the Bucks with 20 points, delivering the game-winner with 20.2 seconds left after Dennis Schroder had tied it with 35.6 seconds to play.
