How Well Did Wemby Shoot vs. Jazz?

The San Antonio Spurs won their fourth straight game on Tuesday night, defeating the Utah Jazz, 128-115. The Spurs and Jazz have finished their four-game season series already, with the Spurs winning three of them. The Spurs trailed for much of the first half but were able to take over in the final frame.

Victor Wembanyama finished with an eye-popping 34 points and made an elite 6-14 of his 3-point shots. He only recorded seven rebounds, but his ability to space the floor meant he didn't spend much time in the paint. On defense, he added three blocks and a steal.

Last season, the most 3-pointers Wemby made in a game was five. This season, he has pushed his personal best to eight, and tonight's win was his fourth game with more than five makes from deep.

In addition to Wembanyama's stellar offensive night, Stephon Castle thrived, scoring 23 points of his own to go along with five assists. He is quickly becoming one of the better two-way players not just in the 2024 draft class, but in the entire NBA.

Utah's scoring effort was led by Keyonte George's 26 points. All season long, Collin Sexton has given the Spurs fits, scoring 19 points on average. He wasn't slowed down, adding 20 points, but it wasn't enough for the Jazz.

The Spurs' win streak has been without Jeremy Sochan and Devin Vassell, although Vassell is expected to make his return tomorrow night against the Los Angeles Lakers. He is not yet cleared for back-to-backs, and the Spurs would prefer him to play at home.
