Victor Wembanyama nearly had a triple-double with blocks, in just 25 minutes, in historic blowout win over Suns
The Spurs have now won nine straight games.
On Monday night, the Phoenix Suns faced a daunting challenge against the San Antonio Spurs, and they were utterly unprepared for the performance of Victor Wembanyama. The young Spurs star nearly achieved a triple-double in just 25 minutes of play, leading his team to a dominant 122-96 victory. Wembanyama finished with 40 points, 11 rebounds, and eight blocks, falling just two blocks short of a perfect triple-double.
He had already accomplished this feat previously, including a league-leading 12 blocks against the Timberwolves last season and a 2024 game where he set the NBA single-season record of 40 points, 10 rebounds, and eight blocks. Wembanyama's efficiency was remarkable; he missed only four of his 19 shots and tallied 22 points in the first half, giving San Antonio a 15-point cushion at halftime.
Wembanyama's contributions continued with a block and a wild finger roll in the third quarter. The Spurs' impressive win extended their winning streak to nine games, after a poor start to the season.
