Spurs make franchise history vs. Heat, improve to 5-0

The San Antonio Spurs continue to dominate the NBA after a 107-101 win over the Miami Heat on Thursday night. The victory marked the first time in franchise history that the Spurs have opened a season 5-0.

It’s a stat that almost feels unbelievable — but it’s true. Since joining the NBA in 1976 as one of four ABA teams absorbed into the league, San Antonio had never started a season undefeated through five games. Over the last 23 years, they’ve gone 4-1 to open the season on ten different occasions, but never 5-0 — until now.

Once again, the Spurs were led by Victor Wembanyama, who continues to look every bit like the generational star he’s been hyped to be. The 20-year-old phenom finished with 27 points, 18 rebounds, six assists, and five blocks in 40 minutes — marking his fifth straight 20-point game, fifth double-double, and first 4x5 performance (at least five in four of the five major stat categories). Wembanyama is now averaging 30.2 points, 14.6 rebounds, and 4.8 blocks per game this season.

The supporting cast delivered as well. Stephon Castle poured in 21 points on 58.3% shooting, Devin Vassell added 17 points and nine rebounds, and rookie Dylan Harper chipped in 13 points off the bench, shooting 50% from the field and 40% from deep.

San Antonio’s impressive stretch came at the expense of a Heat team that entered the night with just one loss. Bam Adebayo led Miami with 31 points and 10 rebounds, including a thunderous dunk on Wembanyama that fired up the bench. Andrew Wiggins contributed 24 points and six rebounds, but the Heat faltered late in the fourth quarter.

For the Spurs, the message is clear: this young core is for real. Even without De’Aaron Fox, Luke Kornet, and Jeremy Sochan, San Antonio looks like one of the most complete teams in basketball. They’ll aim to extend their undefeated streak to 6-0 when they face the Phoenix Suns on November 2nd.
