Victor Wembanyama delivered an impressive performance with 27 points, 18 rebounds, six assists, and five blocks, leading the San Antonio Spurs to a 107-101 victory over the Miami Heat. This win marked
the first time in franchise history that the Spurs started a season with a 5-0 record. Previously, they had opened with four consecutive wins three times, most recently in 2017.
The Heat's roster was missing several key players due to injuries, including Norman Powell, Tyler Herro, Kasparas Jakucionis, and Nikola Jovic. Despite these absences, Miami made a strong push in the fourth quarter but ultimately saw their three-game winning streak come to an end. Bam Adebayo led the Heat with 31 points, 10 rebounds, and three assists.
San Antonio showcased a balanced offensive effort with six players scoring in double figures. Stephon Castle contributed significantly with 21 points, eight assists, and six rebounds. Devin Vassell added another 17 points to help secure the win. The Spurs managed to close out the game on an 8-3 run despite Miami's late surge.
