The San Antonio Spurs won their ninth straight game, and Victor Wembanyama decided to block that many shots in honor of this mini streak. Wembanyama also scored a game-high 40 points on an incredulous 79% field goal percentage, while grabbing 11 boards and blocking the aforementioned 9 shots on the defensive end.
