The Boston Celtics closed out 2023 in impressive style by beating the San Antonio Spurs, 134-101, at Frost Bank Center on Sunday.

However, Spurs rookie sensation Victor Wembanyama stole the show with perhaps the move of the year.

With the Celtics leading 79–58 midway through the third quarter, Wembanyama corralled a loose ball at mid-court. After taking just “one” dribble, the 7’4” big man took off just inside the three-point line and made a freakish slam dunk.

Wembanyama scored 21 points on 8-for-16 shooting while adding seven rebounds, three assists and one block in a losing effort.

Jayson Tatum, who scored a game-high 25 points, led a balanced Boston offense that produced six players scoring in double figures.

Despite the Celtics improving to an NBA-best 26–6 on the season, it was Wembanyama from the 5–27 Spurs who had the NBA world buzzing on social media.
