NBA Daily: Wembanyama Struggles as Suns Give Spurs First Loss 130-118 By Reylan Loberternos PhilBoxing.com Mon, 03 Nov 2025  Tagbilaran City, Bohol –The Phoenix Suns torched the San Antonio Spurs 130-118 on Sunday night (Monday morning, Philippine time) at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix, Arizona. French phenom Victor Wembanyama was limited to a season low 9 points on a dismal 4-for-14 field goal shooting, as the Spurs absorbed its first loss in six outings. Devin Booker finished with 28 points, 2 rebounds, 13 assists, and 1 steal, while six others scored in double figures for the Suns, who shot 57.6% (19-for-33) from deep. Grayson Allen and Ryan Dunn each added 17 for Phoenix. The Spurs, on the other hand, shot an atrocious 24.4% (10-for-41) from the rainbow territory. The Suns also assisted on 34 field goals, while the Spurs only connected on 21 assisted field goals. Reigning Rookie-of-the-Year Stephon Castle led the Spurs with 26 markers, 7 boards, 5 dimes, 2 steals, and 1 block. Keldon Johnson added 19 off-the-bench. Second overall pick Dylan Harper scored 12, before leaving with a calf injury. It was the first back-to-back victory this season for the Suns, who were without Filipino-American guard Jalen Green due to hamstring injury and forward Dillon Brooks due to core muscle strain. Meanwhile, the Spurs were still without top guard De’Aaron Fox, who is still nursing his hamstring injury and back-up center Luke Kornet, who is still out with a sprained ankle. The Spurs will try to bounce back, as they visit the Lakers in Los Angeles on Wednesday night (Thursday morning, Philippine time). Meanwhile, the Suns face the Golden State Warriors in San Francisco on Tuesday night (Wednesday morning, Philippine time).
