The Spurs are a team that comes from behind. As noted by Paul Garciaof TThe Spurs-Focused Substack and Spot Up PodcastSan Antonio is a team that comes from behind. They came from 17 points down to beat the Sacramento Kings on the road Sunday, the team’s third win coming by 15 points or more.
Victor Wembanyama made that possible with a 34-point triple-double, his first of the season, leading the Spurs past the Kings.
It was a hot shooting night for San Antonio, which hit a franchise record with 23 3-pointers and, for the evening, was 23 of 46 from beyond the arc. Besides Wemby, the Spurs also had a big night with Julian Champagnie, who scored 19 points and added eight rebounds, and Devin Vassell scored 21 points coming off the bench.
The Kings put Malik Monk in the starting lineup for the first time and he scored 19, while DeMar DeRozan scored 28, Domantas Sabonis 25 and De’Aaron Fox scored 23 with nine assists. However, it wasn’t enough and the Kings lost 6 of 7.
