Victor Wembanyama’s stellar performance led the San Antonio Spurs to a 127-125 victory over the Sacramento Kings, marking their fifth win in six games. Wembanyama recorded his first triple-double of the season with 34 points, 13 rebounds, and 11 assists. Devin Vassell contributed 21 points off the bench, while DeMar DeRozan led the Kings with 28 points. The Spurs overcame a 17-point deficit in the first quarter and used a 19-7 run in the third quarter to take the lead. The game remained close throughout, with key plays from Wembanyama, Chris Paul, and Keldon Johnson securing the win for San Antonio.
The Spurs set a franchise record with 23 three-pointers made in the game. On the other hand, the Kings have now lost six of their last seven games, falling to a season-low three games below .500. Despite a strong first quarter where Sacramento scored 42 points, the Spurs’ defense tightened up and limited their shooting efficiency to secure the win.
Looking ahead, the Spurs will face the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday, while the Kings will host the Houston Rockets. This victory adds to the Spurs’ recent success and highlights Wembanyama’s versatility and impact on the court. The thrilling finish and strong performances from both teams made for an exciting matchup that showcased the competitive nature of the NBA.
