LOS ANGELES, United States, Feb 24, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Victor Wembanyama led a defensive masterclass as the San Antonio Spurs out-muscled the Detroit Pistons 114-103 Monday in an intense and aggressive clash between the NBA's two most in-form teams. While the Pistons' shooting was at times sloppy, Devin Vassell led the Spurs' offense, with 28 points including seven three-pointers -- as many as the entire Detroit team managed collectively. But the Pistons' defense kept them in the game, putting Wembanyama under particular pressure. Jalen Duren led a late Pistons fightback, finishing with 25 points, but it ultimately fizzled as a resolute San Antonio saw out the game. The hard-fought victory puts the Spurs at 41-16, still trailing the West-leading defending champions Oklahoma City Thunder, at 44-14.
