Spurs defeat Celtics, Wembanyama shines
The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Boston Celtics 125-116, fueled by a late 12-0 run and a strong performance from Victor Wembanyama, who earned Western Conference Player of the Week honors.
The Spurs' victory snapped a four-game losing streak against the Celtics. San Antonio's record improved to 14-51, while Boston fell to 51-14. Wembanyama recorded 17 points, 13 rebounds, four assists, and four blocks. He's the youngest player in NBA history to win Western Conference Player of the Week twice.
