One night after Luka Doncic dropped 53 on Portland the Blazers ran into another star they could not slow down.

Victor Wembanyama scored 29 points in 24 minutes as the San Antonio Spurs beat the Portland Trail Blazers 125-103 on Saturday night at Moda Center.

The Spurs improved to 8-2 and won their eighth straight game. They are 4-0 on the road. Portland fell to 6-3 and dropped to 1-2 at home after its first back-to-back losses of the season.

Wembanyama finishes early

Wembanyama went 9 of 13 from the field and 3 of 6 from 3-point range. He added seven rebounds and three assists and sat out the entire fourth quarter with the other starters. He scored eight of San Antonio's first 11 points then added 13 points, four rebounds and three assists on 6-of-9 shooting in a third quarter the Spurs won 45-27.

An outlet pass from Wembanyama to Stephon Castle for a breakaway dunk early in the third made it 66-49. San Antonio outscored Portland 87-56 across the second and third quarters.

Devin Vassell scored 15 points. Castle and Julian Champagnie each had 14. Dylan Harper added 13.

Portland cannot keep up

Deni Avdija led the Blazers with 15 points. Scoot Henderson scored 13. Damian Lillard had 12 in his first game against the Spurs since January 2025. Jrue Holiday added 11 off the bench. Rookie Yang Hansen posted his first career double-double with 12 points and 10 rebounds.

The teams combined for 32 fouls and 41 free throws in the first half. A sellout crowd watched San Antonio pull away. The Spurs visit Phoenix on Monday.
