Spurs Reach First-Ever 5-0 Start With 107-101 Win Over Heat

A league-best defense powered by Victor Wembanyama underscores a youth-driven turnaround.

Overview

  • Victor Wembanyama delivered 27 points, 18 rebounds, six assists and five blocks in 40 minutes to close out Miami.
  • San Antonio remains the NBA’s stingiest team at 104.5 opponent points per game after holding the league’s top-scoring Heat to 101.
  • Stephon Castle added 21 points with eight assists, six rebounds and four steals, and Devin Vassell scored 17 with timely late plays.
  • Bam Adebayo led Miami with 31 points and 10 rebounds as the short-handed Heat played without Tyler Herro and Norman Powell, among others.
  • Wembanyama extended his blocked-shot streak to 90 consecutive games, and the 5-0 Spurs visit the Phoenix Suns on Nov. 2 for a road test.
