With Victor Wembanyama again going nuclear, the San Antonio Spurs earn a rare lopsided victory over the Portland Trail Blazers.
With 8:31 remaining Saturday, Victor Wembanyama headed to the bench already having collected 30 points, seven rebounds and a career-high tying 10 blocked shots. All he needed was three more rebounds to log his fourth career triple-double. With the Spurs beating Portland by 20 at that point, Wembanyama knew the only way he was getting back into the game to chase it was if the Trail Blazers made some sort of run in the fourth quarter.

It was their sixth double-digit victory out of 15 this season, and their first in December.
