Victor Wembanyama delivered another historic performance, scoring 40 points to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a dominant victory, La Provence reported. The French phenomenon dominated both ends of the floor in just 25 minutes of action.
According to reports from France 24, Wembanyama shot 15-of-19 from the field, grabbed 11 rebounds, and blocked 9 shots. This marked his second performance of at least 40 points, 10 rebounds, and 8 blocks within a single week, following a 52-point franchise-record outing against Dallas five days prior.
Spurs Extend Winning Streak Behind Coach’s Strategy
San Antonio secured its ninth victory behind the stellar play of its 2.24-meter star. Spurs coach Mitch Johnson addressed the team’s ongoing success after the game, noting the natural flow of the offense.
“There are a lot of good things happening right now for Wembanyama, obviously,” Johnson said, as quoted by La Provence. “I think he’s letting the game come to him and finding himself in spots to capitalize, and his teammates are doing a great job of using him at the right time.”
Wembanyama set the tone early by scoring 14 points in the first quarter alone. He added another 11 points late in the game before heading to the bench with nine minutes remaining.
