Spurs Dominate Suns 121-94 for 7th Straight Win | Wembanyama & Castle Shine
The San Antonio Spurs extended their winning streak to seven games with a dominant 121-94 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Thursday night in Austin, Texas. Stephon Castle led the Spurs in scoring with 20 points, although Victor Wembanyama contributed 17 points, 11 rebounds and 5 blocks.
The Spurs seized control of the game early, opening the second quarter with a 13-0 run fueled by three-pointers from Julian Champagnie and a three-point play by Harrison Barnes. This surge extended their lead to 61-49 at halftime. The Suns struggled to keep pace, facing a significant deficit and needing a near-perfect performance to remain competitive.
San Antonio continued to build on their advantage after the break, with consecutive three-pointers from Castle, Wembanyama, and Devin Vassell quickly widening the gap. The third quarter saw the Spurs outscore the Suns 37-22, effectively putting the game out of reach.
Castle’s performance included 8 of 11 shooting from the field and 3 interceptions in 21 minutes of play. Wembanyama’s all-around contribution was crucial, and De’Aaron Fox added 15 points and 8 assists, directing the Spurs’ offense. Dylan Harper provided a spark off the bench with 17 points, while Luke Kornet anchored the interior with 10 points and 9 rebounds.
The Spurs shot 51.7% from the field and recorded 30 assists, demonstrating a balanced and efficient offensive performance.
The Suns’ evening was significantly hampered by an injury to Devin Booker, who exited the game after just nine minutes with a right hip issue. Booker did not return to the game, leaving a void in the Suns’ offensive leadership. Jalen Green stepped up to score 26 points, including 4 of 9 from three-point range, and Mark Williams recorded a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Spurs’ momentum.
Phoenix struggled with their shooting, finishing at 37.1% from the field and 28.6% from beyond the arc. The Suns’ offense faltered as San Antonio consistently disrupted their rhythm and capitalized on their opportunities.
