Week in Review: Spurs continue to return to form with another undefeated week

Welcome to Week in Review: a Monday feature that looks back at the week that was for the San Antonio Spurs, takes a look at the week ahead, and more. Enjoy!

Week 2: After a rough opening week of the season, the Spurs took advantage of an easy schedule against the sinking Kings and Jazz and injured Timberwolves to get right again, going undefeated with Victor Wembanyama absolutely dominating by averaging 36 points per game to win Western Conference Player of the Week.

Week 3: 4-0 (8-2, 3rd in West)

119-97 win vs. Utah Jazz

It was a rare game where Wemby was not hot, with just 12 points 5-15 shooting, but the Spurs didn’t need him to be in another match-up against the lowly Jazz. He deferred to the hot hands, and they used a balanced attack with all five starters plus Harrison Barnes and Keldon Johnson scoring in double figures, as well as dominant first and third quarters to put the game away early.

112-111 win vs. Dallas Mavericks

Unlike the week prior, the Mavericks had Cooper Flagg and Kyrie Irving available this time, and the match-up lived up to the hype. The Spurs dominated the first half and led by as much as 19, but their inability to protect big leads reared its ugly head again as it completely evaporate in the second half, not helped by the Spurs being ice-cold from three (5-36). But, Wemby once again proved he’s on another tier this season with a historic 53-point, 24-rebound, 8-block night to rescue his team from the jaws of defeat (although it would have been easier had he made his last 4 free throws).

In their first Tournament game of the the season, the Spurs made quick work of the cellar-dwelling Kings on the first night of a back-to-back to allow their players to rest in a game that wasn’t as close as the final score indicates (although point-differential does matter in the Cup standings, and the Warriors now lead the group thanks to a 17-point win). Wemby again dominated, with 30 points and 14 rebounds in a quick 26 minutes of work.
