The San Antonio Spurs kept their NBA Cup aspirations alive on Tuesday night with a convincing 128-115 victory over the Utah Jazz, powered by stellar performances from their dynamic duo, Victor Wembanyama and rookie Stephon Castle, affectionately known as ‘Area 51’.

Wembanyama dominated on both ends, finishing with 34 points on 13 of 23 shooting, seven rebounds, two assists and three blocks.

The 7-foot phenom was a matchup nightmare for the Jazz, scoring efficiently in the paint and stretching the floor with his versatility.

Castle, the Spurs’ rookie guard from UConn, continued to impress, scoring 23 points on 9-of-20 shooting. He also contributed three rebounds, five assists and a block, providing a strong addition to the backcourt for Wembanyama.

Julian Champagnie gave the Spurs a boost, scoring 15 points while going 4-for-9 from beyond the arc. He also had two assists and three steals and made crucial plays in key moments.

Defensively, the Spurs had some trouble containing Utah’s offensive leaders. Keyonte George scored 26 points, while Collin Sexton and John Collins added 20 points each.

Despite these efforts, San Antonio tightened up late in the game to secure the road win.

With the win, the Spurs improve to 10-8 on the season and build momentum.

They are now 3-1 against the Jazz this year and look to continue their strong streak when they face the Los Angeles Lakers tomorrow night at 8:30 PM.
