Wembanyama scores 40 points in 25 minutes as Spurs win 9th straight

Victor Wembanyama delivered a dominant performance with 40 points, 11 rebounds, and nine blocks in only 25 minutes to lead the San Antonio Spurs to a 122-96 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Monday night. The win marked San Antonio's ninth consecutive victory and improved their season record to 9-2. Wembanyama became only the second player in NBA history since 1951-52 to score at least 40 points in under 26 minutes.

Spurs coach Mitch Johnson credited the center's poise, while Dylan Harper added 17 points to support the offensive surge. Devin Booker scored a team-high 32 points for Phoenix, but Suns coach Jordan Ott acknowledged that his defensive plan failed to contain Wembanyama, who dominated across all three levels.
