The Spurs vs Kings score read 130-103 on Tuesday night at Frost Bank Center, as Victor Wembanyama scored 29 points with 10 rebounds and five blocks to lift San Antonio to its second straight win. De’Andre Hunter led Sacramento with 24 points, but the Kings dropped to 0-4 to open the season.
San Antonio built its lead in the second quarter, outscoring Sacramento 41-25 in the period to turn a two-point edge into an 18-point cushion at halftime. The Spurs never let the Kings get closer than that the rest of the way, stretching their largest lead to 28 points while Sacramento’s biggest advantage of the night was just one point.
Key Moments And How San Antonio Pulled Away
The game opened tight, with four lead changes in the first quarter alone as Darius Acuff Jr.’s 25-foot pullup jumper gave Sacramento a brief 23-22 edge with 4:15 left in the period. San Antonio answered immediately. Wembanyama scored on a running dunk and a 17-foot jumper to close the first quarter on an 8-0 personal burst, and the Spurs took a 39-29 lead into the second.
From there, San Antonio’s offense took over. Julian Champagnie hit four three-pointers in the second quarter alone, part of a stretch that pushed the Spurs lead to 22 points at 38-60 before halftime. Sacramento shot 43% from the field for the game and made 13 of 37 three-point attempts, but could not match San Antonio’s pace once the Spurs started scoring in bunches.
Top Performers
Wembanyama went 14 of 21 from the field in 27 minutes, adding two steals to his 29-point, 10-rebound, five-block line. De’Aaron Fox finished with 11 points and six assists, and Dylan Harper added 13 points and six assists while shooting 6 of 7 from the floor. Devin Vassell contributed 14 points and a team-high eight assists, and Stephon Castle scored 15 points off the bench.
For Sacramento, Domantas Sabonis recorded 20 points, 14 rebounds and eight assists for a near triple-double, but finished a team-worst minus-15. Hunter paired his 24 points with five made three-pointers, and Zach LaVine scored 22 points. Darius Acuff Jr. added 19 points and five assists in 33 minutes.
What It Means
San Antonio improved to 2-2 and moved to a half-game behind Dallas in the Southwest Division, where Houston and Memphis both sit at 4-0. The Spurs outscored the Kings 60-46 in points in the paint and 29-15 on fast-break points, numbers that reflect the gap in pace and physicality through four quarters.
Sacramento fell to 0-4, last in the Pacific Division at 3.5 games behind the division-leading Lakers. The Kings have now lost four straight to start the season and were outscored by at least 10 points in each of the final three quarters Tuesday.
What’s Next
The season series between the two teams now favors San Antonio 1-0. Neither team’s next opponent was listed in the official data released after Tuesday’s game. San Antonio will look to build on its Wembanyama-led surge, while Sacramento searches for its first win of the season after dropping to 0-4.
