Victor Wembanyama made that possible with a 34-point triple-double, his first of the season, to lead the Spurs past the Kings.
This was a hot shooting night for San Antonio, with a franchise-record 23 three-pointers and 23 of 46 from beyond the arc for the night. In addition to Wemby, Spurs also had a big night from Julian Champagnie, who scored 19 points and added eight rebounds, plus Devin Vassell had 21 points off the bench.
The Kings inserted Malik Monk into the starting lineup for the first time and he scored 19, while DeMar DeRozan had 28, Domantas Sabonis had 25 and De’Aaron Fox scored 23 with nine assists. Still, it wasn’t enough, and the Kings have dropped 6-of-7.
