Victor Wembanyama recorded his 100th straight regular-season game with at least one block, joining Patrick Ewing and Dikembe Mutombo in an elite group. He finished with 26 points, 12 assists and two blocks as the Spurs cruised to a dominant win over Atlanta. Wembanyama’s streak, dating back to January 2024, continued with standout rejections on Dyson Daniels and Asa Newell, pushing his season tally to 51 blocks despite missing 12 games through a calf strain. His rim protection and all-round impact have powered San Antonio to a much faster 20th win than last year.
