Wembanyama picked up his fifth foul early in the fourth quarter with San Antonio leading by six. He checked out to avoid fouling out, and Luke Kornet entered as backup. Isaiah Hartenstein intercepted a pass and raced ahead, but Kornet challenged at the rim and blocked the shot into the backboard. After the Spurs recovered the rebound, Stephon Castle hit a short jumper to extend the lead to eight. Kornet’s fourth-quarter stint lasted 54 seconds before Wembanyama returned, and San Antonio’s young core finished a 111-103 victory. The win underscored that playoff success can hinge on depth, even with stars like Wembanyama and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
