San Antonio, TX – Victor Wembanyama continued his breakout season on Friday night, delivering a 30‑point, 14‑rebound performance that propelled the San Antonio Spurs to a 124‑109 win over the Sacramento Kings in an NBA Cup matchup.
Dominant double‑double fuels Spurs’ offense
Coming off a historic 52‑point, 24‑rebound effort against Dallas just two days earlier, Wembanyama recorded his seventh double‑double of the season, tying him for third in the league with Sacramento’s Domantas Sabonis, who finished with 17 points and 12 rebounds.
Supporting the star performance, Stephon Castle, Devin Vassell and Dylan Harper each contributed 19 points, while veteran Harrison Barnes added 13. The Spurs improved to 7‑2 on the season.
Spurs dominate early, maintain lead
San Antonio exploded for 75 points in the first half, the second‑highest scoring half of the season after an 80‑point burst against the Kings on Oct. 27. The early surge gave the Spurs a 19‑point advantage at halftime and the lead stretched to as many as 24 points midway through the fourth quarter.
Wembanyama sparked a 12‑point run early in the second quarter, helping the Spurs push the margin to 11 points before the Kings attempted a comeback.
Efficient shooting and free‑throw success
The Spurs shot an efficient 33‑for‑42 from the free‑throw line, while the Kings made 13 of 19 attempts. Rookie Darius Acuff Jr. led Sacramento with 22 points and eight assists, but the Kings fell to 1‑8 overall and have now lost four straight home games.
Upcoming NBA Cup schedule
Both teams remain in West Group C of the NBA Cup, alongside Portland, Golden State and the Los Angeles Lakers. The Spurs travel to Portland on Saturday, while the Kings host Miami on Sunday.
Wembanyama’s continued production underscores the Spurs’ resurgence this season and gives San Antonio fans a reason to be optimistic as the NBA Cup progresses.
