Victor Wembanyama poured in 29 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in just 27 minutes, and Julian Champagnie canned eight first-half 3-pointers as host San Antonio steamrolled Sacramento 130-103 on Tuesday night, October 27.
San Antonio set league season highs for points (80), assists (23) and 3-pointers (13) in a half in a near-complete performance before the break. Champagnie finished with 26 points as the Spurs won their second game in a row.
The first half effectively settled the contest, with Wembanyama’s all-around presence and Champagnie’s shooting giving San Antonio momentum early in the season against Western Conference opposition. Sacramento had no answer for the hosts’ pace and ball movement once the lead began to stretch.
For the Spurs, the convincing win underlined how dangerous they can be when their star centre is efficient and the supporting cast shoots like this — a combination few teams will want to face twice in a week.
