Josh Richardson scored 24 points off the bench and Keldon Johnson blocked the potential game-winning shot in the final seconds as the San Antonio Spurs held on for a wild 112–111 victory over the visiting Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday.

The Spurs led by 16 points at intermission and by 92–78 after three quarters, but Cleveland clawed back to within 110–106 on two free throws by Jarrett Allen with 3:04 to play. A basket by Devin Vassell was answered by a pair of foul shots by Darius Garland with 1:38 left.
