Stephon Castle scored 15 points for the Spurs and De'Aaron Fox 14 added points after a one-game absence due to tightness in his left adductor.

Both teams were coming off disappointing losses on Saturday, but the Cavaliers responded by snapping a two-game skid.

The Cavaliers trailed by eight points in the third quarter before rallying in the fourth quarter against the Spurs.

Jaylen Tyson hit consecutive 3-pointers to give Cleveland an 87-82 lead two minutes into the final quarter. The lead swelled to 94-84 and the Spurs failed to rally as they did in the first half.

Cleveland took its first double-digit lead at 22-12 on a four-point play by De'Andre Hunter following a Luke Kornet foul on his 3-pointer in the right corner.

Hunter finished with 11 points and Kornet had 10.

Allen shot 6 for 12 while scoring 12 points in the first half, including a pair of buckets he blindly tossed behind him and off the backboard.

The Cavaliers held an early lead, but Wembanyama dazzled the sell-out crowd.

Castle threw the ball off the backboard and Wembanyama came flying through the lane to throw down a two-handed dunk three minutes into the game. Wembanyama later drained a 25-foot, 3-pointer off one foot in the final minute of the first quarter to give San Antonio a 26-25 lead.
