LAS VEGAS
— An impressive performance in the paint and a productive night from their second unit helped the San Antonio Spurs to an
86-81
win over the Phoenix Suns in a
2026 NBA Summer League
consolation game at Thomas and Mack Center on Saturday evening.
San Antonio saw five players score in double digits, but only two of those were part of the starting five. The Spurs shot 45.6%, and they outscored the Suns by a 42-28 margin in the paint. Meanwhile, San Antonio’s second unit compiled 40 of the team’s 86 points, while Phoenix’s bench mustered a modest 19.
The game had a rollercoaster quality to it, as the Spurs saw a 23-16 lead devolve into a 43-39 deficit by halftime. San Antonio appeared to regain control during a third quarter when it outscored Phoenix, 22-10, but the Suns battled all the way back to knot the game at 74 with 2:42 remaining before the Spurs finished the game on a 12-7 run.
Miles Kelly led the Spurs with 20 points. RJ Melendez furnished 13 points, R.J. Davis supplied 11 points, Harry Wessels and Miles Barnstable generated matching 10-point efforts, with Wessels also pulling down nine rebounds.
