SAN ANTONIO — \u2014 Victor Wembanyama<\/a> had 27 points, 18 rebounds, six assists and five blocked shots, and the San Antonio Spurs<\/a> improved to 5-0 for the first time in franchise history by beating the Miami Heat<\/a> 107-101 on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

San Antonio won four straight to open a season on three previous occasions, most recently 2017. The Spurs, Heat and Sacramento Kings<\/a> were the only franchises never to open a season 5-0. Miami couldn’t prevent San Antonio from exiting that club despite a determined effort.<\/p>\n

Bam Adebayo<\/a> had 31 points, 10 rebounds and three assists for the Heat in a matchup of All-Star centers.<\/p>\n

The Heat were without Norman Powell<\/a> (strained groin), Tyler Herro<\/a> (ankle), Kasparas Jakucionis<\/a> (strained groin) and Nikola Jovic<\/a> (bruised hip), but the depleted roster made a strong push in the fourth quarter before Miami’s three-game winning streak was snapped.<\/p>\n

The Heat had a 17-1 run in the first 4:35 of the final quarter, with Wembanyama\u2019s second free throw the lone point. The Heat had a 29-20 scoring advantage in the final quarter but the Spurs closed the game on an 8-3 run to preserve their winning streak. <\/p>\n

San Antonio had six players score in double figures, including 21 points from Stephon Castle<\/a>. Castle added eight assists and six rebounds, and Devin Vassell<\/a> added 17 points.<\/p>\n

Wembanyama has had at least one block in 90 straight games, the fourth-longest streak in league history.<\/p>\n

Wembanyama exhorted the fans to get out of their seats and cheer after he rose from the court following a foul by Andrew Wiggins<\/a> with 14.6 seconds remaining in the game. The fans didn’t need any persuading as they had already been standing to watch team history.<\/p>\n
