Victor Wembanyama`s historic performance led the Spurs to a 131-121 victory over the Wizards.

The San Antonio Spurs secured a thrilling 131-121 victory against the Washington Wizards on February 10, 2025. This win marked the Spurs` 23rd victory of the season and showcased a historic performance by Victor Wembanyama. He became the first player in NBA history to achieve a statline of 31 points, 15 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals, 3 blocks, and 5 three-pointers in a single game. Wembanyama`s remarkable outing places him among Spurs legends like David Robinson and Tim Duncan, as he joins an elite group of players with at least 30 points and 15 rebounds in 15 games.

De`Aaron Fox, who was recently traded from the Sacramento Kings, also made a significant impact with 30 points and 6 assists, shooting 7 out of 14 from the field. The dynamic duo of Fox and Wembanyama has sparked a resurgence for the Spurs, who now sit at 23-28 in the competitive Western Conference, currently holding the 12th place.

Despite every Wizard logging double figures, the last-place Washington team could not secure a home victory. The Spurs received solid contributions from players like Harrison Barnes, Devin Vassell, and Stephon Castle, further solidifying their offensive prowess. Looking ahead, the Spurs will face the Boston Celtics, the Eastern Conference runner-ups, on February 11, 2025, at TD Garden, as they aim to build on their recent success.

Wembanyama`s historic performance and Fox`s impact are pivotal as the Spurs eye the Play-In Tournament.
