Phoenix Suns vs San Antonio Spurs Match Player Stats

The phoenix suns vs san antonio spurs match player stats from November 2, 2025, tell the story of a game that was decided by shooting efficiency, ball movement, and Phoenix’s explosive first three quarters. The Suns defeated the Spurs 130-118 at the Mortgage Matchup Center in Phoenix, turning a competitive opening stretch into a commanding lead before San Antonio mounted a late fourth-quarter response.

Devin Booker led Phoenix with 28 points and 13 assists, while Stephon Castle paced San Antonio with 26 points and five assists. Victor Wembanyama finished with nine points and nine rebounds, but his shooting struggles and six turnovers made this one of his less productive offensive performances of the season. Phoenix, meanwhile, converted 19 of 33 three-point attempts and shot 58 percent from the field.

The final score can make the contest look closer than it was for much of the night. Phoenix built a 31-point advantage and entered the fourth quarter ahead 102-78. San Antonio scored 40 points in the final period, but the Suns had created enough separation to withstand that comeback attempt.

Phoenix Suns vs San Antonio Spurs Match Player Stats: Game Overview

The November 2 meeting brought together two teams entering the game with very different levels of momentum.

San Antonio arrived with a 5-0 record, while Phoenix entered at 2-4. The Spurs had been one of the league’s unbeaten teams, and Victor Wembanyama had been producing at an elite level during their opening run.

Phoenix changed the shape of the game almost immediately.

The Suns finished with 130 points on 46-of-79 shooting, including 19-of-33 from three-point range. They also made 19 of 22 free throws. San Antonio scored 118 points on 45-of-98 shooting and made only 10 of 41 three-point attempts.

That difference in shot quality and conversion was central to the result.

Final Score

TeamQ1Q2Q3Q4Final
San Antonio Spurs	24	28	26	40	118
Phoenix Suns	31	39	32	28	130

Phoenix won the first three quarters by a combined 24 points. San Antonio then won the fourth quarter 40-28.

That fourth-quarter margin is important because it shows both sides of the game. The Spurs did not simply stop competing after falling behind. They produced their best scoring period of the night late. However, Phoenix’s earlier offensive performance had already created a deficit that was too large to erase.

The official NBA game record confirms the 130-118 final score, the quarter-by-quarter scoring, the 31-point largest lead, and the game’s location at the Mortgage Matchup Center.

Devin Booker Controls the Game for Phoenix

Devin Booker was the most important individual offensive player in the contest.

He finished with:

28 points
13 assists
10-of-15 shooting
2-of-2 from three-point range
6-of-6 from the free-throw line
2 rebounds
5 turnovers
+26 plus/minus

The scoring total was impressive, but the 13 assists provide an even better explanation for Phoenix’s offensive success.

Booker was not simply finishing possessions. He was creating them.

Phoenix had 34 assists on 46 made field goals, meaning approximately 74 percent of the team’s made baskets were assisted. That is a strong indicator of how much the Suns relied on coordinated offense rather than repeated isolation possessions.

Booker’s 13 assists accounted for a substantial portion of that distribution.

His first-half impact was particularly important. Phoenix led 70-52 at halftime, and Booker had already recorded 14 points and nine assists. That meant he was influencing the game as a scorer and as the primary organizer of the offense.

The Spurs had no easy answer for the combination of Booker’s shooting and passing.

When defenders stayed close to Booker, Phoenix had opportunities elsewhere. When the defense helped, Booker could create passing angles. When the Suns got clean perimeter looks, they converted them at an unusually high rate.

That combination explains why his 28-point performance should not be evaluated only through his scoring total.

Stephon Castle Leads San Antonio

Stephon Castle was the leading scorer for San Antonio with 26 points.

His final line included:

26 points
5 assists
4 rebounds
2 steals
2 turnovers
9-of-19 field-goal shooting
2-of-6 from three-point range
6-of-8 free throws

Castle was one of the few Spurs players capable of consistently generating offense against Phoenix’s defense.

His 26 points represented more than one-fifth of San Antonio’s total scoring. He also provided five assists, giving him a direct role in creating offense for teammates.

The challenge for San Antonio was that Castle’s production was not matched by enough efficient perimeter shooting around him.

The Spurs made only 10 of 41 three-point attempts, a conversion rate of roughly 24 percent. Phoenix, by comparison, made 19 of 33.

That created an 18-made-three difference in attempts converted from outside.

Castle therefore had to carry a significant offensive burden while Phoenix was simultaneously generating efficient scoring opportunities from multiple players.

Victor Wembanyama’s Unusual Statistical Night

Victor Wembanyama entered the game as one of the defining players of San Antonio’s unbeaten start.

His performance against Phoenix was very different from the production that had characterized the Spurs’ opening games.

Wembanyama finished with:

9 points
9 rebounds
2 assists
1 steal
4 blocks
6 turnovers
4-of-14 field-goal shooting
1-of-5 three-point shooting
-3 plus/minus

The nine rebounds and four blocks still show his defensive and rebounding influence, but the offensive numbers stand out.

He shot 4 of 14 from the field, including 1 of 5 from three-point range. He also committed six turnovers.

That combination reduced San Antonio’s offensive efficiency at a position where the Spurs normally expected Wembanyama to create advantages.

According to the NBA’s game recap, Wembanyama had averaged 30.2 points and 14.6 rebounds during San Antonio’s 5-0 start. He was held below 10 points for the first time since October 30, 2024.

That context makes his nine-point performance more significant than the raw number suggests.

It was not simply a night where Wembanyama scored fewer points. Phoenix disrupted the efficiency and volume that had made him such a major part of San Antonio’s early-season offense.

Phoenix’s Three-Point Shooting Was the Defining Difference

If one team statistic best explains the result, it is three-point shooting.

Phoenix:

19-of-33 from three
57.6 percent from three
46-of-79 overall
58.2 percent from the field

San Antonio:

10-of-41 from three
24.4 percent from three
45-of-98 overall
45.9 percent from the field

The difference was enormous.

Phoenix made nine more three-pointers despite taking eight fewer attempts.

That means the Suns did not simply win the perimeter battle by shooting more. They won it through accuracy.

A team can sometimes survive a poor three-point percentage if it dominates offensive rebounds, free throws, or points in the paint. San Antonio did have 16 offensive rebounds and scored 64 points in the paint. However, Phoenix’s perimeter efficiency created too much scoring value.

The Suns’ 19 made threes alone accounted for 57 points.

That represents nearly 44 percent of their 130-point total.

This is why the game should not be reduced to the idea that Phoenix simply “shot well.” The Suns’ outside shooting fundamentally changed the mathematical structure of the contest.

Grayson Allen Provides Important Secondary Scoring

Grayson Allen scored 17 points for Phoenix and was one of the team’s most effective perimeter contributors.

He shot 6-of-13 from the field and 5-of-9 from three-point range.

Those five made three-pointers were particularly important because they prevented San Antonio from concentrating its defensive attention entirely on Booker.

Allen’s role illustrates an important feature of Phoenix’s offensive performance.

Booker did not need to score 40 points.

Instead, Phoenix received meaningful production from several players while Booker concentrated heavily on playmaking.

Allen’s 17 points, Ryan Dunn’s 17 points, Collin Gillespie’s 15 points off the bench, and other contributions gave Phoenix multiple scoring outlets.

That balance made it more difficult for San Antonio to manufacture a defensive comeback after halftime.

Ryan Dunn’s Plus/Minus Shows His Overall Impact

Ryan Dunn finished with 17 points, five rebounds, one assist, one steal, and a remarkable +32 plus/minus.

That was the best plus/minus figure for either team.

Plus/minus should not be treated as a complete measure of individual performance because it reflects what happens while a player is on the floor. It can be affected by teammates, opponents, rotations, and game situation.

Still, Dunn’s +32 is meaningful when considered alongside his efficient shooting.

He went 6-of-8 from the field and 3-of-4 from three-point range.

His scoring efficiency allowed Phoenix to get production without requiring additional high-volume possessions.

For a team already receiving elite creation from Booker, that type of complementary production can be especially valuable.

Mark Williams Makes His Presence Felt

Mark Williams was Phoenix’s leading rebounder with seven boards.

He also finished with seven points, two assists, one steal, and two blocks.

His contribution did not dominate the traditional scoring column, but his presence mattered in a matchup involving Wembanyama.

Phoenix ultimately finished with 39 rebounds compared with San Antonio’s 41.

The Spurs had a significant advantage in offensive rebounding, collecting 16 offensive boards compared with Phoenix’s five. That gave San Antonio additional possessions.

However, those extra opportunities did not fully compensate for the Spurs’ poor three-point shooting and overall field-goal efficiency.

This is an important lesson when examining individual player statistics. A player can contribute in a category where his team has an advantage while the overall team result is still shaped by another statistical category.

Keldon Johnson Gives the Spurs a Bench Spark

Keldon Johnson led San Antonio’s bench with 19 points.

His scoring helped the Spurs produce 40 points in the fourth quarter and remain competitive after falling substantially behind.

Johnson’s 19 points were especially useful because San Antonio needed additional scoring after Wembanyama struggled to convert efficiently.

The Spurs’ bench did not completely solve the offensive problem, but Johnson’s production was one of the brighter individual elements of the team’s second-half response.

The contrast with Phoenix was still notable.

The Suns’ bench scored 50 points, with Collin Gillespie leading that group with 15. The official game recap specifically highlighted Phoenix’s 50 bench points.

That depth became important because Phoenix could maintain offensive pressure without depending entirely on Booker.

Team Shooting Comparison

The overall shooting numbers provide one of the clearest ways to understand the game.

CategorySpursSuns
Field Goals	45-98	46-79
FG Percentage	46%	58%
Three-Pointers	10-41	19-33
Three-Point Percentage	24%	58%
Free Throws	18-23	19-22
Free-Throw Percentage	78%	86%
Total Rebounds	41	39
Assists	21	34
Turnovers	14	20
Steals	11	8
Blocks	5	4

The most striking difference is field-goal efficiency.

Phoenix made only one more field goal than San Antonio, but the Suns attempted 19 fewer shots.

That means Phoenix reached 130 points with substantially fewer total field-goal attempts.

The three-point line explains much of that efficiency.

Phoenix’s 19 made threes gave the team a major scoring advantage without requiring additional possessions.

Assists Reveal Phoenix’s Offensive Structure

Phoenix recorded 34 assists.

San Antonio recorded 21.

That 13-assist difference is significant.

It suggests that Phoenix was more successful at turning offensive actions into clean scoring opportunities.

Booker’s 13 assists were the central piece of that distribution, but the number also reflects movement from the other players.

The Suns were able to move the ball, generate perimeter opportunities, and punish defensive help.

San Antonio’s offense was more concentrated.

Castle led the team in scoring and assists, while Wembanyama struggled to create efficient scoring opportunities.

The difference does not mean that San Antonio lacked offensive talent. It means that Phoenix was able to turn its offensive talent into efficient team production more consistently during this particular matchup.

Turnovers Complicate the Story

One interesting part of the box score is that Phoenix committed more turnovers.

The Suns had 20 turnovers.

The Spurs had 14.

Normally, that would create a potential advantage for San Antonio.

The Spurs also recorded 11 steals compared with Phoenix’s eight.

Yet those advantages did not translate into enough additional scoring to offset Phoenix’s shooting.

This is why evaluating a basketball game through one statistic can be misleading.

San Antonio won the turnover battle.

San Antonio won the offensive-rebounding battle.

San Antonio scored 64 points in the paint compared with Phoenix’s 38.

Yet Phoenix still won by 12 points.

The Suns compensated through extraordinary perimeter shooting and superior assist production.

The First Half Established Phoenix’s Advantage

The first half was where the game began to separate.

Phoenix scored 31 points in the first quarter and 39 in the second.

San Antonio managed 24 and 28.

That produced a 70-52 halftime score.

Phoenix’s 18-point halftime lead was not built from one player alone.

Booker had 14 points and nine assists before the break. The Suns also shot 11-of-15 from three-point range during the first half.

That shooting performance created an immediate problem for San Antonio.

A defense can accept certain trade-offs when an opponent is hitting difficult shots. But Phoenix was not simply hitting one or two contested threes. The Suns consistently converted from outside while also using Booker as a primary creator.

The result was a first half in which San Antonio had very little margin for error.

Phoenix Extends the Lead in the Third Quarter

The third quarter made the deficit even more difficult to overcome.

Phoenix scored 32 points while San Antonio managed 26.

The Suns entered the final quarter with a 102-78 advantage.

At that stage, the game was effectively divided into two different stories.

The first three quarters belonged overwhelmingly to Phoenix.

The fourth belonged to San Antonio.

The NBA game record lists Phoenix’s largest lead at 31 points.

That figure is important because the final 12-point margin does not reflect how large the gap became during the game.

San Antonio’s Fourth-Quarter Comeback

The Spurs scored 40 points in the fourth quarter.

That was their highest-scoring quarter of the game by a significant margin.

Phoenix, meanwhile, scored 28.

San Antonio reduced the deficit to 14 points with 6:24 remaining, showing that the game had not completely disappeared from reach.

But Phoenix responded with an 11-0 run, creating enough separation to stop the comeback.

This sequence demonstrates why game flow matters when interpreting the final box score.

The Spurs’ fourth-quarter numbers were strong.

But their comeback started from a position created by Phoenix’s dominance earlier in the game.

What the Rebounding Numbers Tell Us

San Antonio finished with 41 rebounds.

Phoenix finished with 39.

At first glance, this appears relatively even.

The distribution is more interesting.

San Antonio collected:

16 offensive rebounds
25 defensive rebounds

Phoenix collected:

5 offensive rebounds
34 defensive rebounds

The Spurs therefore generated 11 more offensive rebounds.

That gave them additional possessions and helped compensate for their poor perimeter shooting.

Phoenix’s defensive rebounding, however, prevented San Antonio from generating an even larger second-chance advantage.

The Suns did not dominate the glass overall. Instead, they controlled the defensive end of the rebounding equation well enough to limit the consequences of San Antonio’s offensive rebounding advantage.

Why the Player Stats Matter More Than the Final Score

The final score tells you who won.

The player statistics tell you why.

Booker’s 28 points and 13 assists show Phoenix’s offensive control.

Allen’s 17 points and five threes demonstrate the importance of perimeter support.

Dunn’s 17 points on 6-of-8 shooting show how efficiently Phoenix’s complementary players contributed.

Williams’ seven rebounds and two blocks show his interior presence.

For San Antonio, Castle’s 26 points and five assists show that he was the team’s primary offensive engine.

Johnson’s 19 bench points show that San Antonio had secondary scoring.

Wembanyama’s nine points, nine rebounds, four blocks, and six turnovers illustrate the unusual nature of his performance.

Taken together, these numbers provide a much more useful explanation than simply saying Phoenix won 130-118.

Key Statistical Takeaways

Several conclusions stand out from the complete box score.

1. Phoenix’s three-point shooting changed the game

The Suns made 19 threes compared with San Antonio’s 10.

That nine-make advantage translated into a massive scoring difference.

2. Booker controlled more than the scoring column

His 13 assists were arguably as important as his 28 points.

He consistently created opportunities for teammates.

3. Castle carried the Spurs’ scoring load

Castle’s 26 points were the highest total for San Antonio.

He also contributed five assists.

4. Wembanyama had an unusually inefficient offensive night

Nine points on 4-of-14 shooting represented a sharp departure from his production during San Antonio’s unbeaten start.

5. San Antonio’s offensive rebounding was excellent

The Spurs collected 16 offensive rebounds, compared with five for Phoenix.

6. Phoenix compensated with efficiency

The Suns shot 58 percent from the field and 58 percent from three.

7. Phoenix’s bench made a major contribution

The Suns received 50 bench points, led by Collin Gillespie’s 15.

How to Read These Player Statistics Correctly

A common mistake when searching for phoenix suns vs san antonio spurs match player stats is to focus only on points.

Points are easy to understand, but they do not explain every aspect of a basketball performance.

A better approach is to examine five categories together:

Scoring efficiency: Look at field-goal percentage, three-point percentage, and free-throw shooting.
Creation: Check assists and turnovers.
Possession control: Examine offensive rebounds and turnovers.
Defensive activity: Review steals, blocks, and defensive rebounds.
On-court impact: Use plus/minus as supporting context rather than a standalone verdict.

Using that framework makes the November 2 game easier to understand.

Booker’s 28 points look excellent.

His 13 assists make the performance even more important.

Wembanyama’s nine points look disappointing in isolation.

Adding his nine rebounds and four blocks shows that he still affected the game defensively.

His six turnovers, however, reveal one of the main problems San Antonio faced.

This is why complete box-score analysis is more useful than simply listing the top scorers.

What This Game Shows About Offensive Efficiency

The most useful lesson from this matchup is that efficiency can overwhelm volume.

San Antonio attempted 98 field goals.

Phoenix attempted 79.

That is a 19-shot difference.

Yet Phoenix scored 12 more points.

The reason was efficiency.

The Suns made 46 field goals to San Antonio’s 45 despite taking 19 fewer attempts. They also made nine more three-pointers.

This is a classic example of why shot quality and conversion rate must be considered together with possession statistics.

San Antonio had more offensive rebounds.

San Antonio had fewer turnovers.

San Antonio generated more points in the paint.

But Phoenix converted its opportunities at a far higher rate.

The Importance of Booker’s Playmaking

Booker’s 13 assists deserve special attention because they explain how Phoenix generated so many efficient shots.

A 28-point, 13-assist performance means Booker was directly involved in a large share of Phoenix’s offensive production.

He did not have to force every possession.

Instead, he could use defensive attention to create opportunities for teammates.

That helped explain why the Suns had 34 assists overall.

It also helps explain why several Phoenix players shot efficiently.

Basketball offense becomes difficult to defend when one player can score efficiently while simultaneously creating open shots for others.

That was the central challenge facing San Antonio.

What San Antonio Can Take From the Numbers

From a statistical perspective, San Antonio’s performance contained both positive and negative elements.

The positives included:

41 total rebounds
16 offensive rebounds
11 steals
5 blocks
64 points in the paint
40 fourth-quarter points
26 points from Castle
19 points from Johnson

The problems were primarily offensive efficiency and ball security around Wembanyama.

The Spurs shot 46 percent overall, which is respectable in isolation.

But 24 percent from three was a major limitation.

When an opponent shoots 58 percent from three, a team needs exceptional efficiency elsewhere to keep pace.

San Antonio’s 64 points in the paint helped, but Phoenix’s perimeter shooting created too large a gap.

What Phoenix’s Numbers Say About the Performance

Phoenix’s statistical profile was unusual because the Suns were not perfect.

They committed 20 turnovers.

They collected only five offensive rebounds.

They were outrebounded overall.

Yet they won comfortably.

That tells us where the decisive advantages were located.

Phoenix was highly efficient from the field.

The Suns were highly efficient from three.

They made 86 percent of their free throws.

They produced 34 assists.

And they received meaningful scoring from multiple players.

That combination was enough to overcome the areas where San Antonio had statistical advantages.

Why the Fourth Quarter Should Not Be Ignored

It would be inaccurate to describe the game as a complete four-quarter domination by Phoenix.

The fourth quarter belonged to San Antonio.

The Spurs scored 40 points and reduced the deficit.

That matters because it demonstrates that San Antonio eventually found more offensive rhythm.

However, the comeback also highlights the value of game-state context.

A team trailing by 24 entering the fourth quarter does not approach the final period in the same way as a team playing from a one-possession deficit.

Phoenix could protect its advantage.

San Antonio had to increase its offensive aggression.

The final 40-28 quarter therefore needs to be read alongside the 102-78 score entering that period.

Final Assessment of the Statistical Story

The phoenix suns vs san antonio spurs match player stats reveal a game shaped by two contrasting styles of production.

San Antonio generated strong interior scoring, offensive rebounds, steals, and a late offensive surge.

Phoenix generated elite shooting efficiency, superior three-point conversion, more assists, and balanced scoring.

Devin Booker was the central figure for Phoenix with 28 points and 13 assists.

Stephon Castle was San Antonio’s leading scorer with 26 points.

Victor Wembanyama contributed nine rebounds and four blocks but struggled offensively, finishing with nine points on 4-of-14 shooting and six turnovers.

The biggest team-level difference was outside shooting. Phoenix made 19 of 33 three-point attempts, while San Antonio made only 10 of 41.

That 57-point versus 30-point output from three-point makes created a scoring gap that San Antonio’s advantages in offensive rebounds and points in the paint could not overcome.

The fourth quarter showed the Spurs’ ability to respond, but Phoenix’s first three quarters had already established a substantial advantage.

For anyone examining this matchup through a statistical lens, the key lesson is straightforward: the final 130-118 score was the product of efficiency, creation, and perimeter shooting rather than one isolated individual performance.

Conclusion

The phoenix suns vs san antonio spurs match player stats provide a detailed explanation of how Phoenix turned a high-profile matchup into a 130-118 victory.

Devin Booker combined efficient scoring with 13 assists, giving Phoenix both a primary scorer and an elite facilitator. Ryan Dunn and Grayson Allen each added 17 points, while Collin Gillespie supplied 15 points from the bench. Phoenix also received seven rebounds from Mark Williams and finished with 34 assists as a team.

San Antonio received 26 points from Stephon Castle and 19 from Keldon Johnson. Victor Wembanyama contributed nine rebounds and four blocks, but his nine points on 4-of-14 shooting and six turnovers made this an unusually difficult offensive night.

The team numbers make the difference even clearer. San Antonio won the offensive-rebounding battle and produced 64 points in the paint, but Phoenix shot 58 percent from the field and 58 percent from three. The Suns also made 19 three-pointers compared with 10 for the Spurs.

Phoenix’s 70-52 halftime lead and 102-78 advantage entering the fourth quarter ultimately provided enough cushion to withstand San Antonio’s 40-point final period.

The matchup therefore stands as a strong example of how player production, shooting efficiency, playmaking, and game flow work together. Looking beyond the final score reveals that Phoenix won primarily through exceptional perimeter accuracy and offensive organization, while San Antonio’s strongest stretches came from interior scoring, offensive rebounding, and a late fourth-quarter push.
