Wembanyama Drops 43 as Spurs Win Fourth Straight

Victor Wembanyama dropped 43 points in the Spurs’ 121-111 win over the Timberwolves on Saturday, taking a career-high 34 shots while adding seven rebounds, four assists, six blocks and a steal. Fans chanted “WemVP” as Wembanyama hit threes, finished at the rim and erased shots on defense. Minnesota was without Anthony Edwards. Wembanyama said experience is helping his “pattern recognition” on the court, and San Antonio is trending up after an 0-2 start. The Spurs have won four straight, while Victor has scored at least 29 points in each of his last three games, including 36 in an overtime win over Utah. He’s averaging a career-high 28.0 points through six games.
