PHOENIX (AP) — Keldon Johnson’s dunk with 1.2 seconds left gave the Spurs their only lead of the night and lifted San Antonio to a 115-114 victory over the stunned Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night.

The Spurs, who trailed by as many as 20 points in the game, stole the ball from Kevin Durant in the final seconds and Johnson, who led the Spurs with 27 points, scored to break San Antonio’s nine-game losing streak against Phoenix.

Top draft pick Victor Wembanyama missed his first five shots before throwing down a sensational dunk in the final seconds of the first half. He scored 18 points and had eight rebounds in 28 minutes. Devin Vassell also had 18 for the Spurs.

Durant led Phoenix with 26 points. Eric Gordon scored 20, Grayson Allen had 19 on 5 of 7 shooting from 3-point range for the Suns, who played without injured starting guards Bradley Beal and Devin Booker.
