  "account": "SALT LAKE CITY - In the Spurs' lopsided 130-103 victory over the Sacramento Kings, center Victor Wembanyama's dominance in the paint played a crucial role. During film sessions earlier in the week, the team focused on ways to involve Wembanyama more after he averaged 20.0 points on 36.5% shooting and 25.0% accuracy from three-point range. Coach Mitch Johnson emphasized that better spacing and execution were key factors in enabling Wembanyama to score 24 points at the rim, a significant improvement from his 1-of-13 performance in the season opener. With 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 blocks, Wembanyama's performance marked a turning point in the Spurs' season, leading to their first home win and an overall record of 2-2.",
