Victor Wembanyama delivered a breathtaking performance as the San Antonio Spurs stretched their winning streak to ten games.
The young star scored a season-high 41 points as the San Antonio Spurs earned a 10th successive win by beating the Golden State Warriors 127-113.
The Spurs have emerged as NBA title contenders during the second half, and a key figure to that is the 22-year-old, who achieved his haul in just 29 minutes at Chase Center in California. He also dominated the boards with 18 rebounds.
Stephon Castle and Julian Champagnie chipped in with 15 points each for San Antonio. The team now sits second in the Western Conference.
“We’re still going to play 100% to try to win this championship,” Wembanyama said with confidence.
