DENVER — Victor Wembanyama stole Nikola Jokic's pass with 4 seconds left, and the San Antonio Spurs held on to beat the Denver Nuggets 113-110. Wembanyama finished with 35 points and 18 rebounds to help the Spurs overcome a big night from Jokic. The three-time MVP had 41 points, 18 rebounds and nine assists, falling just short of his 15th triple-double. San Antonio led by one with 17 seconds left and Denver had a chance to win.
