The Spurs vs Grizzlies showdown quickly turned into a statement win for San Antonio, with Victor Wembanyama setting the tone from the opening play, Yankee Scores reports

 

Wembanyama’s Impact in Spurs vs Grizzlies Clash

Spurs vs Grizzlies was a spectacle. Wembanyama finished with 19 points, 15 rebounds, and seven blocks, overwhelming the Grizzlies inside. From the opening lob to the final buzzer, his size and skill dictated the game. San Antonio outscored Memphis 56-34 in the paint and controlled the boards 59-33.

Devin Vassell matched Wembanyama’s 19 points, while Stephon Castle and Keldon Johnson added 15 each. In total, seven Spurs reached double figures, highlighting the team’s balanced attack.

Spurs Extend Winning Streak

The 123-98 victory marked San Antonio’s seventh straight win, moving them within two games of Oklahoma City for the top spot in the Western Conference. The timing was perfect, as the Thunder’s 12-game winning streak ended the same night in Boston.

Grizzlies Struggle with Injuries

Memphis, meanwhile, dropped its fourth straight and has now lost 12 of its last 13. GG Jackson led the way with 20 points, while Olivier-Maxence Prosper scored 17. DeJon Jarreau added 15, but the Grizzlies were simply outmatched.

Injuries remain the biggest storyline. Ten players sat out, including Ja Morant, Zach Edey, and Brandon Clarke, all ruled out for the season after medical procedures. With their tallest available starter at 6-foot-9, Memphis had no answer for the 7-foot-4 Wembanyama.

What’s Next

The Spurs will close out their three-game road trip in Milwaukee on Saturday night, looking to extend their winning streak and continue their push toward the top of the West. The Grizzlies return home to face the Houston Rockets on Friday, hoping to halt their skid and find some stability despite their depleted roster.
