Victor Wembanyama poured in a season-high 43 points to help the host San Antonio Spurs defeat the short-handed Minnesota Timberwolves 121-111 on Saturday for its fourth straight victory.
The Timberwolves, already missing star Anthony Edwards (knee) and Donte DiVincenzo (Achilles surgery), also played without defensive stopper Rudy Gobert due to low back spasms and lost for the third time in four games.
The Spurs trailed by a point at halftime before taking a five-point lead into the fourth quarter, thanks in part to a 10-0 run. Dylan Harper added 25 points, seven rebounds and six assists for the Spurs, while De’Aaron Fox scored 22 points and added eight rebounds and seven assists.
Ayo Dosunmu led the Timberwolves with 27 points and nine rebounds, while Jaden McDaniels and Jonathan Kuminga tallied 19 points each. LaMelo Ball was 2-for-10 from the field for 10 points before fouling out.
