Victor Wembanyama Records 40 Points, 11 Rebounds, and 9 Blocks in Spurs’ Dominant Win Over Suns

Victor Wembanyama recorded 40 points, 11 rebounds, and 9 blocks in just 25 minutes of play to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 122-96 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Monday, November 9, 2026.

The performance nearly resulted in a triple-double, a milestone Wembanyama previously achieved on February 12, 2024, against the Toronto Raptors. Only four players in NBA history—Hakeem Olajuwon, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Ralph Sampson, and David Robinson—have recorded a triple-double that included a double-digit block total, according to records reported by Diario AS.

Spurs Extend Winning Streak in Phoenix

San Antonio entered the matchup with momentum, having secured eight straight wins, while the Suns held a 3-5 record entering the contest. The Spurs established their dominance early, responding to a brief first-quarter deficit by closing the period with a 31-25 lead. By halftime, the visitors had extended their advantage to 61-46, shooting 51.2% from the field compared to 37.5% for Phoenix.

The lead swelled to 25 points following a productive third quarter. Wembanyama contributed 10 points in the frame, while Dylan Harper added 14, marking a career-high for a single quarter. San Antonio eventually pushed the margin to 104-70 early in the fourth quarter following a dunk by Wembanyama, prompting both coaching staffs to clear their benches.

Spurs Roster Provides Balanced Scoring Behind Wembanyama

While Wembanyama led the offensive effort, the Spurs received balanced scoring from the rest of the roster. Dylan Harper finished with 17 points, and De’Aaron Fox recorded 15 points and 9 rebounds. Harrison Barnes and Julian Champagnie each added 11 points, with Champagnie moving into the starting lineup to replace Devin Vassell, who was sidelined with an adductor injury.

For the Suns, Devin Booker led all scorers with 32 points, including 15 in the first quarter. Despite his efforts, Phoenix saw its two-game winning streak snapped. Khaman Maluach provided 11 points off the bench for the Suns, but the team was unable to overcome the defensive pressure applied by the Spurs throughout the second and third quarters.

Wembanyama Efficiency Highlights Suns Defensive Vulnerability

Before the game, analysts had highlighted the defensive vulnerability of the Suns, who entered the week ranked 27th in defensive efficiency. Wembanyama’s 15-of-19 shooting performance showed his efficiency, a factor that contributed to the Spurs being identified as the favorite entering their game against the Phoenix Suns.

Conversely, the Suns were attempting to rebound from a difficult start to the campaign, having lost five of their first six games before securing recent wins against Orlando and Houston.
