Six players scored in double figures for San Antonio in the win, including Wembanyama. Dylan Harper delivered a strong performance with 21 points, six assists, four rebounds and two blocks. He made 9 of 14 shots overall, including 3 of 5 from downtown. Keldon Johnson finished second with 21 points and six rebounds, Stephon Cassel had 19 points and seven rebounds, De’Aaron Fox added 14 points and six assists, while Harrison Barnes provided 13 points and three rebounds.

San Antonio improved to a 54–18 record on the season and second place in the Western Conference standings. They are above the Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets, while trailing the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Riding a six-consecutive win streak, the Spurs will be looking forward to their next matchup. They remain on the road when they take on the Memphis Grizzlies on March 25th at 8PM ET.
