The San Antonio Spurs extended their winning streak to seven games on Wednesday night, routing the Memphis Grizzlies 123-98 at the FedExForum. The blowout victory pushes San Antonio to a commanding 54-18 record as they tighten their grip on the top tier of the Western Conference standings.
Memphis offered little resistance from the opening tip. The Grizzlies fall to a bleak 24-47 on the season following the lopsided home defeat.
San Antonio effectively ended the competitive phase of the game in the first twelve minutes. They outscored Memphis 38-19 in the opening quarter. The Spurs never looked back.
Victor Wembanyama anchored the interior dominance. The center logged a massive double-double with 19 points and 15 rebounds. He also suffocated the Grizzlies’ offense by registering seven blocked shots.
The relentless pace reflects a broader trend across professional basketball this season, where early deficits are becoming increasingly fatal for struggling rosters.
Devin Vassell matched Wembanyama’s offensive output. Vassell dropped 19 points to keep the starting unit humming. Keldon Johnson provided instant offense off the bench. He chipped in 15 points to ensure the Grizzlies never mounted a serious comeback attempt in the second half.
The second half played out as a formality. San Antonio coasted through the final two quarters. The Grizzlies simply lacked the firepower to cut into the massive early deficit.
