Sandro Mamukelashvili Makes NBA History with 34 Points in 19 Minutes

The Spurs' reserve forward delivered a record-breaking performance in a 120-105 win over the Knicks, keeping San Antonio’s play-in hopes alive.

Mamukelashvili became the first player in NBA history to score 34 points in under 20 minutes, shooting 13-for-14 from the field and 7-for-7 from three-point range.
The Spurs overcame the absence of key players Victor Wembanyama, De'Aaron Fox, and head coach Gregg Popovich to secure a morale-boosting victory.
Karl-Anthony Towns led the Knicks with 32 points, but the team struggled offensively, with starters other than Towns missing their first 20 field goal attempts.
The Knicks, now 3-3 without injured star Jalen Brunson, have lost five of their last eight games and face challenges stabilizing ahead of the playoffs.
The Spurs remain three games behind the Dallas Mavericks for the final play-in tournament spot with 14 games left in the regular season.
