Victor Wembanyama continued to add to his list of unique accomplishments Saturday night, when he had 30 points and tied a career high with 10 blocks in a 114-94 win over the Blazers.
Wembanyama added seven rebounds while playing just 30 minutes, sitting out the final 8 1/2 minutes of the fourth quarter with San Antonio headed to its largest margin of victory this season.
In just his second season and at age 20, Wembanyama continues to add to his list of unique accomplishments. His 10-block game comes during a season in which he also had a 50-point game and a 5x5 game. He is just the third player since the league began keeping track of blocks in 1974 to do all three in the same season, joining David Robinson in the 1992-93 season and Hakeem Olajuwon in 1989-90.
Wembanyama also went 4-of-8 from 3-point range Saturday, making him the first player with four 3-pointers and 10 blocks in a game in NBA history. Wembanyama now has two career 10-block games -- he also did it in his rookie season against Toronto -- and he is the first player under 21 with multiple games with double-figure blocks since 1974.San Antonio is 15-13 after winning two straight and four of five. The Spurs did not win their 15th game last season until March 17.
The Trail Blazers snapped a six-game skid with a 126-124 win over Denver on Thursday but have lost nine of their last 11 games.
