AUSTIN, Texas (AP) \u2014 Victor Wembanyama had 28 points and 15 rebounds, and the San Antonio Spurs beat the Sacramento Kings 139-122 on Saturday night for their eighth straight win and a sweep of their two games in Austin.<\/p>\n

Sacramento lost a franchise record 16th straight game, the last two after center Domantas Sabonis and guard Zach LaVine had season-ending surgery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

De\u2019Aaron Fox, Stephon Castle and Keldon Johnson each scored 18 for the Spurs, while Wembanyama added six assists and four blocks.<\/p>\n

Keegan Murray and DeMar DeRozan led Sacramento with 20 points apiece. Malik Monk scored 19 while Maxime Raynaud \u2014 a rookie from Stanford and a friend of Wembanyama from France \u2014 had 16 points and 12 rebounds.<\/p>\n

San Antonio, playing in a city the organization considers part of a megaregion that they\u2019ve cultivated for several years, scored the first 11 points of the game, setting an aggressive tone that included three blocks by Wembanyama in the first 90 seconds.<\/p>\n

Undermanned Sacramento hustled its way back into the game and trailed by just one with less than five minutes remaining in the third quarter.<\/p>\n

The Kings’ determination resulted in seven offensive rebounds by Raynaud. Several times he tapped the ball back to teammates for open shots.<\/p>\n

But that was not enough against Wembanyama, who made a 3-point basket and assisted on one by Harrison Barnes, both in the final minute of the third quarter, to give the Spurs a 105-94 lead heading to the fourth.<\/p>\n
