Suns fall as Spurs’ Wembanyama dominates

PHOENIX, Ariz. (KYMA) - The Phoenix Suns ran into a Wemby wall Monday night at Mortgage Matchup Center as Victor Wembanyama delivered another dominant road performance for San Antonio.

Wembanyama finished with 40 points, 11 rebounds and nine blocks, leading the Spurs to a convincing 122-96 victory over the Suns.

Devin Booker paced Phoenix with 32 points, but the Suns had no answer for the 7-foot-4 star, who recorded 22 points and five blocks in the first half alone.

San Antonio has now won nine consecutive games after opening the season with back-to-back losses.

Meanwhile, Phoenix drops to 3-6 and will look to get back on track Tuesday night when it takes on the Los Angeles Clippers in the second night of a back-to-back.
