NBA Results: Victor Wembanyama rarely hits 5×5 as San Antonio Spurs beat Utah Jazz

Victor Wembanyama further enhanced his reputation by sealing a rare 5×5 to help the San Antonio Spurs defeat the Utah Jazz 106-88.

Wembanyama scored 25 points with nine rebounds, seven assists, five blocks and five steals – known as a 5×5 for registering numbers of at least five in five separate categories.

It’s the second time he’s accomplished it, joining Hakeem Olajuwon and Andrei Kirilenko as the only players to accomplish the feat more than once in the NBA.

“It tells me I have to get my standards up when I don’t get 5×5 because I’m able to help my team in all those areas. It should be a consistent thing,” Wembanyama said.

The Spurs, who had lost their previous two games, are in 12th place in the Western Conference, while the Jazz are bottom after losing all five games.

In Memphis, Tennessee, Ja Morant starred as the Memphis Grizzles beat the Milwaukee Bucks 122-99.

Morant recorded his 12th career triple-double by scoring 26 points with 14 assists and 10 rebounds.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s game-high 37 points weren’t enough for the Bucks as they fell to a fourth straight loss.

“I thought we played with the right spirit,” Bucks coach Doc Rivers said.

“We didn’t make shots, and you’re going to have nights like that. But on those nights, we’ve got to find a way to get stops.”

Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns took advantage of a stellar Devin Booker performance to overturn a 21-point deficit and beat the Los Angeles Clippers 125-119.

Booker recorded a season-high 40 points in Inglewood, Calif., and he was helped by 21 points from Royce O’Neale and another 18 from Kevin Durant.

Rookie Ryan Dunn, making just his second career start, also chipped in with 16 points.

The Suns’ second win in two weeks at the Clippers’ new Intuit Dome venue has them in third place in the Western Conference.
