Spurs Triumph Over Suns
In a commanding performance on Thursday night, the San Antonio Spurs triumphed over the Phoenix Suns with a score of 121-94, marking their seventh consecutive victory. This win, achieved in Austin, Texas, saw standout performances from rookie Stephon Castle, who notched 20 points, and the much-heralded Victor Wembanyama, contributing 17 points along with 11 rebounds and five blocks.
Key Player Performances
Castle’s efficiency was notable as he made 8 of his 11 shot attempts in just 21 minutes of play, also providing four assists and three steals. De’Aaron Fox supported the effort with 15 points and eight assists in 22 minutes, while reserves Dylan Harper and Luke Kornet made significant impacts, scoring 17 and 10 points, respectively, with Kornet nearly achieving a double-double with nine rebounds.
Suns Struggle Without Key Players
The Suns struggled, competing without star player Devin Booker, who exited after only nine minutes due to right hip soreness. Jalen Green led Phoenix with 26 points but faced a challenging night overall, as the Suns were also missing Dillon Brooks, suspended for a technical foul, and Grayson Allen, sidelined by an ankle injury.
Game Highlights
The Spurs established dominance early and went into halftime leading 61-49, thanks in part to a strong 13-0 run at the opening of the second half, featuring key three-point shots from both Castle and Wembanyama, as well as a three-point play from Harrison Barnes. The team’s strong start after the break widened the gap to 22 points shortly thereafter.
Looking Ahead
Next up, the Spurs will look to extend their winning streak against the Sacramento Kings on Saturday, while the Suns are set to face the Orlando Magic on the same day, hoping to bounce back from this loss.
