Wembanyama's 29 points and 10 rebounds fuels Spurs in 130-103 victory over Kings
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Victor Wembanyama had 29 points and 10 rebounds and the San Antonio Spurs beat the Sacramento Kings 130-103 on Tuesday night for their first home victory of the season.Julian Champagnie added 26 points on 8-for-13 3-point shooting as San Antonio evened its record at 2-2 after opening with disappointing home losses to Oklahoma City and Houston.
The Los Angeles Kings handed the New York Rangers their first home losing streak of the season, ending a six-game winning run at Madison Square Garden, as James Reimer’s debut with the team proved to be a disaster. Reimer, who had just signed with the Rangers earlier in the day after a brief stint in Hartford, allowed three goals in the first period on nine shots, looking far from his best as a New York goaltender.
The Kings scored three times in the opening period, taking a 3-1 lead at the half, before extending their lead to a 6-3 victory. Rangers' defenseman Taylor Ward opened the scoring just 1:15 into the game, but the Kings responded quickly, with Brandt Clarke, Drew Doughty, Mikey Anderson, and Joel Edmundson all scoring for the visitors.

Miller, Adam Fox, and Tye Kartye adding to the Kings' tally. While the Rangers have a five-day break to work on their defensive issues, they will face Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers, who have NHL scoring leader McDavid, at Madison Square Garden on Sunday.
