Historic Achievement for San Antonio
San Antonio had previously launched three seasons with four successive wins, most recently in 2017. Before this victory, the Spurs, along with the Heat and the Sacramento Kings, had never managed a 5-0 opening to a campaign.
Game Flow and Key Moments
The Spurs built a strong platform, but the Heat – already short-handed without Norman Powell (strained groin), Tyler Herro (ankle), Kasparas Jakucionis (strained groin) and Nikola Jovic (bruised hip) – mounted a determined comeback. Miami assembled a 17-1 run within the opening 4:35 of the final period, with only Wembanyama’s single free throw breaking their momentum. The Heat outscored the Spurs 29-20 in the last quarter, yet San Antonio produced an 8-3 closing run to secure the victory and maintain their unbeaten record.
Individual Excellence and Records
Wembanyama’s defensive prowess extended his streak of games with at least one block to 90 – the fourth longest in NBA history. Stephon Castle added significant support with 21 points, eight assists and six rebounds, while Devin Vassell contributed 17 points as part of a collective offensive effort that saw six Spurs achieve double-digit scoring. During the closing seconds, after being fouled by Andrew Wiggins with 14.6 seconds left, Wembanyama energised the home fans, who responded enthusiastically to a historic night for San Antonio basketball.
