Dylan Harper's Game Changing Highlight Pass
- Dylan Harper fueled the Spurs comeback with a steal, a strip, and a highlight wraparound pass to Luke Cornette for a dunk.
- Harper's pressure handling and a spinning snatch-back created the critical drop-off during the run.
Wembanyama Chase Down Block Stole Momentum
- Victor Wembanyama produced one of the season's best highlight blocks by chasing down Brandon Ingram and swatting a reverse finish at the other side of the rim.
- The block came on a four-on-three fast break with under a minute left and effectively halted the Raptors' comeback chance.
