The San Antonio Spurs have quietly turned into a real powerhouse in the Western Conference over the span of just one year. The team sits at 37-16 on the season and is riding a five-game winning streak,

On a night when the Los Angeles Lakers were light on star power with Luka Dončić, LeBron James and Austin Reaves all sitting out, San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama had a moment in the Hollywood spotlight with a historic performance at Crypto.

Victor Wembanyama had a stat line of 40 points in 26 minutes in the Spurs' win over the Lakers, setting multiple records in the process.

Though the Spurs' release of Jeremy Sochan means they have no draft selections from consecutive summers left, Victor Wembanyama still leads.

Draymond Green was on triple-double watch while guarding Victor Wembanyama, putting up 17 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists. Wembanyama responded by scoring 26 and blocking two shots. Neither player wanted to give an inch to the other as there was plenty of grappling and uncalled fouls as the duo battled for positioning.

The three-time Sixth Man of the Year believes breaking Wilt Chamberlain’s record is about obsession, not talent.
