Key Takeaways:
- Victor Wembanyama recorded 33 points, 10 rebounds, and sank a season-high seven three-pointers
- San Antonio achieved their third consecutive victory, with seven players reaching double-digit points
- Utah suffered their fourth straight defeat, completing a 1-4 road trip
Wembanyama’s Standout Display Following All-Star Recognition
Victor Wembanyama delivered an impressive performance mere hours after being named an All-Star starter for the first time, guiding the San Antonio Spurs to a 123-110 triumph over the Utah Jazz. Wembanyama contributed 33 points and 10 rebounds, connecting on 7 of 12 attempts from beyond the arc. This tally left him just one three-pointer shy of matching his career high, which he set on 13 November 2024 against Washington.
This year marks Wembanyama’s second All-Star selection, and he becomes the eighth player in Spurs history to start an All-Star Game. His impact was immediate, scoring 13 points with a 3-for-4 effort on threes in the opening quarter, before reaching 21 points at halftime.

San Antonio’s Balanced Attack Extends Winning Run
The Spurs once again displayed their offensive depth, as seven players finished in double figures, marking their third consecutive win and the fifth victory from the last seven outings. The backcourt trio of Stephon Castle, Dylan Harper, and De’Aaron Fox combined for 47 points, registering 18, 15, and 14 points respectively.
San Antonio established control by outscoring Utah 35-23 in the third quarter, stretching a four-point halftime lead and ultimately securing their 17th double-digit win of the season. Castle shone with 11 points in the third period and executed a flawless 6-for-6 from the free-throw line during that quarter, ending the contest with a 7-for-10 mark from the stripe.
Jazz Stumble Again Despite George’s 30
Despite strong performances from Keyonte George, who netted 30 points, and Jusuf Nurkic, who added 20, the Jazz were unable to halt their losing streak. Utah has now endured four consecutive defeats and concluded their current road swing with a 1-4 record.
In their previous encounter on 27 December, the Jazz ended the Spurs’ eight-game winning run, but this time Wembanyama and company ensured no repeat upset.
| Player | Points | Rebounds |
|---|---|---|
| Victor Wembanyama | 33 | 10 |
| Stephon Castle | 18 | 2 |
| Dylan Harper | 15 | 3 |
| De’Aaron Fox | 14 | 5 |
| Keyonte George (UTA) | 30 | 3 |
| Jusuf Nurkic (UTA) | 20 | 9 |
Looking Ahead
San Antonio completed a three-game sweep on their homestand, with Wembanyama averaging 31.3 points over these fixtures. The Jazz will return to Utah to host Minnesota on Tuesday, while the Spurs head to Houston for their next outing.
