SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Victor Wembanyama scored 30 points and tied a career high with 10 blocks as the San Antonio Spurs rolled to a 114-94 victory against the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday night.

Wembanyama added seven rebounds while sitting out the final 8 1/2 minutes of the fourth quarter as San Antonio cruised to its largest margin of victory this season.

Wembanyama is just the sixth player in league history to record 30-plus points and 10-plus blocks in a game, joining Hakeem Olajuwon, David Robinson, Artis Gilmore, Dwight Howard and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Wembanyama is the first player with four 3-pointers and 10 blocks in a game in NBA history and the first under-21 player with multiple games with double-digit blocks since the league began keeping track of blocks in 1974.

Charles Bassey added 16 points and 12 rebounds and Devin Vassell had 11 points for the Spurs, who have won four straight against the Trail Blazers.

San Antonio is 15-13 after winning two straight and four of five. Spurs did not win their 15th game of last season until March 17.

Takeaways

Trail Blazers: Portland was 12 for 43 on 3-pointers. Simons was 3-for-11 on 3s.

Spurs: Wembanyama is averaging 29 points in his last five games.

Key moment

Wembanyama blocked Deni Avdija’s layup attempt with 9:51 left in the game for his 10th block to match the career high he set against Toronto on Feb. 12.

Key state

Wembanyama has had a shutout in 62 straight games, surpassing the franchise record of 61 set by Hall of Fame center David Robinson. Wembanyama also became the 15th fastest in league history to 200 career 3-pointers, doing so in 94 games.
