MEMPHIS, Tenn. — \u2014 Cam Spencer<\/a> scored 21 points, including five in the final 1:26, and the Memphis Grizzlies<\/a> beat San Antonio 106-105 on Tuesday night, offsetting 30 points by the Spurs’ Victor Wembanyama<\/a> in his return after a two-game absence.<\/p>\n

Spencer’s 10-foot baseline jumper with 36.5 seconds left were the final points. San Antonio’s De’Aaron Fox<\/a> took a 15 footer with 5 second left but was blocked by Memphis’ Santi Aldama<\/a>, and the Grizzlies snapped a four-game losing streak.<\/p>\n

Jaren Jackson Jr<\/a>. also had 21 points for Memphis, and Jock Landale<\/a> finished with 19 points. Spencer had eight rebounds and eight assists.<\/p>\n

Wembanyama’s 30 points led the Spurs while Julian Champagnie<\/a> finished with 23. Stephon Castle<\/a> had 15 points before fouling out with 3:13 left. Wembanyama, who played 21 minutes, was 10 of 20 from the floor, including 3 of 6 from outside the arc.<\/p>\n

Memphis led 101-100 with 2:44 left when Fox, who started 1 of 13 from the field, was in the midst of six straight points, taking the San Antonio lead to 104-101 with 1:39 to play. But Spencer’s late burst gave Memphis the victory.<\/p>\n

After a poor first half, Memphis opened the third on a 20-7 run to erase San Antonio’s 11-point lead. Wembanyama had 12 in the period and Memphis held an 82-81 advantage into the final quarter.<\/p>\n

The first half was rather sloppy with both teams making less than a third of their shots until late in the second frame. Memphis had 13 turnovers as the Grizzlies struggled to generate any offense.<\/p>\n
