Pelicans Set Franchise Record in Victory Over Spurs; Wembanyama Sets Teen Double-Double Record

Despite Spurs' Struggles, Rookie Victor Wembanyama Impresses with Eighth Consecutive Double-Double

New Orleans Pelicans set a franchise record with 22 3-pointers in a 146-110 victory over the San Antonio Spurs.
Spurs' rookie Victor Wembanyama, the top pick in 2023, led the Spurs with 17 points and 13 rebounds, marking his eighth consecutive double-double, a new record for a teenager in the NBA.
Pelicans' Zion Williamson, the No. 1 pick of the 2019 draft, recorded 15 points, eight rebounds and three assists in the win, and praised Wembanyama as a 'matchup nightmare'.
The Spurs, with the youngest roster in the league, are currently at the bottom of the Western Conference with a 4-21 record.
Williamson and Wembanyama are set to face off again when the Pelicans come to San Antonio on February 2, followed by a Spurs trip to New Orleans on April 5.
