Wemby Erupts Again: 41 and 18 Propel Spurs to 10th Straight Win
wemby scored 41 points and grabbed 18 rebounds as the San Antonio Spurs beat the Golden State Warriors 127-113 on Wednesday night ET in San Francisco, extending the Spurs’ winning streak to 10 games. The performance — his second straight 41-point game — set the tone early after wemby produced 10 of San Antonio’s first 14 points just 3: 36 into the contest. The victory keeps the Spurs in tight pursuit of the Western Conference’s top seed as they chase the idle Thunder.
Game snapshot
Victor Wembanyama finished 16-for-22 from the field, blocked three shots and recorded his fourth 40-point game of the season in a dominant all-around outing that pushed San Antonio past an injury-affected Golden State team. The final score was 127-113, with the Spurs sprinting ahead after that early Wembanyama burst and never looking back. Wembanyama also logged 18 rebounds; his influence showed in the margin as the Spurs rolled while Golden State missed key contributors.
De’Aaron Fox left briefly after taking a shot to the face but returned to finish with 11 points — one of seven Spurs in double figures. For Golden State, Nate Williams scored 18, LJ Cryer matched his career high with 17, and Brandin Podziemski added 14 points with six rebounds and five assists. Stephen Curry did not play, marking his 26th consecutive absence since Jan. 30 with a right knee injury, though Curry scrimmaged 5-on-5 in a full practice the day before.
Immediate reactions
Victor Wembanyama, 22-year-old first-round draft pick for San Antonio in 2023, said, “We’re still going to play 100% to try to win this championship. ” That declaration underscored a team-wide push: the Spurs have won 15 of their last 16 games and 26 of their past 28, a run that has shifted them into title-contender conversation.
Steve Kerr outlined Golden State’s plan for Curry’s return, saying Curry would scrimmage again in the coming days and then be re-evaluated over the weekend. The Warriors also welcomed Seth Curry back off the bench, as he contributed 12 points in his second game after missing time with a strained left inner thigh. Kristaps Porzingis and Gary Payton II were rested with the potential to return soon, while Al Horford remained sidelined for a 10th straight game with a strained right calf.
Quick context

What’s next
