The San Antonio Spurs have yet to lose a game sporting a full roster as they cruised to a home victory Saturday evening against the Portland Trail Blazers behind a historic outing from Victor Wembanyama.
Facing him for the third time this season, the Portland Trail Blazers' coach addressed the elephant in the room prior to taking on theat Frost Bank Center: He'd yet to beat the 20-year-old, and had watched him block a total of 14 shots over four matchups spanning two seasons."He's already one of the best players in our game," Billups said. "He’s an unselfish player ... he can hurt you in a variety of ways. It’s a very tough matchup.
Behind him, Charles Bassey had another strong outing with Zach Collins riding the bench at Mitch Johnson's discretion, notching a 16-point double-double in the second unit. Meanwhile, Keldon Johnson, Devin Vassell and Jeremy Sochan combined for 32 points of their own to propel the Spurs to their second straight win.
For Portland, Jerami Grant struggled mightily after an impressive outing against San Antonio at home, but Shaedon Sharpe led the way with 25 points on 11-for-16 shooting and Anfernee Simons followed him with 18.
