Victor Wembanyama broke a tie with a free throw with 2.4 seconds left and De'Aaron Fox scored 24 points in his first game for San Antonio, leading the Spurs to a 126-125 victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Wednesday night.

In the first game of the Victor Wembanyama and De'Aaron Fox era, the San Antonio Spurs beat the Atlanta Hawks, 126-125. The Spurs led by as many as 20 points in the second half before allowing the Hawks to come back, but a savvy intentional missed free throw in the final seconds by Victor Wembanyama was enough for the Spurs to eke out a narrow win.

He is different,” Fox said. “He is special. Just the type of defensive attention he receives allows you to do things you don't normally do.” It was a winning combination in Fox's debut with the San Antonio Spurs.
