Victor Wembanyama marcou 36 pontos, melhor da partida, e pegou 14 rebotes na vitória do San Antonio Spurs sobre um Utah Jazz desfalcado, na prorrogação.
Devin Vassell foi igualmente importante, com 21 pontos, sua melhor marca da temporada. O jogo foi desorganizado em alguns momentos, mas San Antonio aproveitou ao máximo os erros do adversário na defesa e terminou com 14 roubos de bola como equipe — três para cada um entre Wembanyama, Vassell e De'Aaron Fox.
Fox, que adotou o apelido de “Swipa”, tem média de 1,8 roubo por jogo nas primeiras semanas. Keldon Johnson também se destacou com um passe sem olhar que serviu uma enterrada de Wembanyama, e Julian Champagnie seguiu contribuindo saindo do banco; quando Tobias Harris entrar na rotação, os minutos ali vão merecer atenção.
Dylan Harper também encontrou Stephon Castle para uma cesta fácil, enquanto o núcleo jovem segue construindo a química que tem sido o tema do início de temporada.
O Spurs volta a jogar em casa no sábado, 31 de outubro, quando recebe o Minnesota Timberwolves.
