PHOENIX -- The Phoenix Suns not only pulled off a surprise upset in Sunday night's 130-118 victory over the previously undefeated San Antonio Spurs, but did so in dominant fashion with a great performance on both sides of the ball.
Devin Booker and the hot-shooting Phoenix Suns have handed Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs their first loss.
In the first quarter, Allen caught the ball in transition, pump-faked and burst into the lane. As the veteran guard exploded toward the rim, his eyes darted to Wembanyama, closing in from the left. Wembanyama blocked four shots against Phoenix, but this time he held back. Allen threw down a one-handed dunk.
Booker, Allen, Dunn, O'Neale and Mark Williams started for the Suns for the third consecutive game, and the Spurs, who were notably without De'Aaron Fox (hamstring), Jeremy Sochan (wrist), Luke Kornet (ankle) and Kelly Olynyk (heel), started Castle, Devin Vassell, Harrison Barnes, Julian Champagnie and Wembanyama.
