The San Antonio Spurs crushed the Sacramento Kings 132-104 on Tuesday night, with Wembanyama leading the charge. The french sensation scored 18 points, grabbed eight rebounds, and added three assists, including a pair of three-pointers. His impact helped the Spurs secure their first win in Sacramento in more than two years.

Former Kings star De’Aaron Fox contributed 15 points, five rebounds, and six assists for San Antonio, while Keldon Johnson matched Wembanyama’s tally with 18. Dylan Harper added 15, and Harrison Barnes combined with Johnson and Stephon Castle to spark a blistering start, shooting 9-of-10 and scoring 22 points in the opening quarter.

Spurs’ hot streak continues

San Antonio’s dominance was clear as they built a 60-27 lead early in the second quarter and stretched the advantage to 41 in the third. They drained 25 of 49 three-point attempts, cruising to their 25th road win of the season. The Spurs have now won eight of their last nine games, improving to 11-3 on the second half of back-to-backs.

Kings halted despite Raynaud’s effort

Sacramento entered the contest on a strong run, winning four of their previous five. However, Maxime Raynaud’s 32 points and nine rebounds were not enough to prevent defeat. Doug McDermott added 12, but the Kings struggled to contain San Antonio’s relentless shooting.

Westbrook climbs all-time list

Russell Westbrook made history with 10 assists, moving past Mark Jackson and Steve Nash into fifth place on the NBA’s all-time assists leaderboard. His playmaking added another highlight to a night dominated by Spurs efficiency.

What next for both sides

The Spurs will look to extend their momentum when they face the Utah Jazz on Thursday, aiming to solidify their position among the Western Conference elite. Meanwhile, the Kings will attempt to bounce back quickly as they host the Philadelphia 76ers, hoping to reignite their form and avoid slipping further down the standings.
