Wemby Guides Spurs to Historic 5-0 Season Start
Victor Wembanyama propelled the San Antonio Spurs to a historic achievement, marking a 5-0 start to the season. This landmark victory came on October 30, 2025, when the Spurs triumphed over the Miami Heat with a score of 107-101. Wembanyama led the team with an impressive performance, securing 26 points, 18 rebounds, 6 assists, and 5 blocks.
Historic Season Start
This season represents the Spurs’ 50th anniversary in the NBA. Wembanyama emphasized their hard work, stating, “We didn’t get those five wins randomly. We worked for it.” The team displayed strong defensive skills, limiting a high-scoring Miami squad to a season-low 101 points, including just 14 in the third quarter.
A Thrilling Finish
The game had its tense moments, particularly in the final quarter. Miami surged back with a 17-1 run, narrowing the Spurs’ once-comfortable 15-point lead to just a single point. However, Wembanyama’s defensive prowess was pivotal, with all five of his blocks occurring in the second half.
- Points: 26
- Rebounds: 18
- Assists: 6
- Blocks: 5
Notable Player Performances
While Wembanyama had a standout game, other players also contributed significantly. Second-year guard Stephon Castle added 21 points, 6 rebounds, and 8 assists. Devin Vassell chipped in with 17 points and 9 rebounds, highlighting the collective effort required for victory. Vassell noted the importance of small details in securing wins.
Defensive Dominance
Wembanyama’s performance marks his third career game with at least 25 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 blocks, ranking him third in Spurs history alongside legends David Robinson and Tim Duncan. Notably, Wembanyama has averaged 30.2 points, 14.6 rebounds, and 4.8 blocks over the first five games, a feat last accomplished by Bob McAdoo in 1975.
Team Effort and Future Outlook
The Spurs have shown resilience throughout their early season. Despite facing challenges in preserving leads, they have proven capable of tough victories. Coach Mitch Johnson recognized Wembanyama’s defensive contributions and the overall grit of the team. The Spurs look to maintain their historic 5-0 start as they progress through the season.
