SAN ANTONIO (AP) \u2014 Dylan Harper<\/a> scored 17 points, Victor Wembanyama<\/a> added 12 points, 11 rebounds and three blocks and the San Antonio Spurs<\/a> rolled to their fifth straight victory, topping the Utah Jazz<\/a> 119-97 on Monday night.<\/p>\n

Stephon Castle<\/a> added 16 points and Keldon Johnson<\/a> had 15 points as San Antonio won the first two of a three-game homestand.<\/p>\n

Lauri Markkanen<\/a> had 22 points and eight rebounds for Utah, which lost its fifth straight. <\/p>\n

Wembanyama has averaged 28.8 points, 9.8 rebounds and 4.0 blocks during the winning streak, but his scoring wasn\u2019t as critical with a balanced attack against the Jazz. San Antonio had seven players score in double figures and held an opponent to less than 100 points for the first time this season.<\/p>\n

San Antonio shot 60% from the field while outscoring Utah 35-20 in the third quarter. Wembanyama, Harper, Castle and De\u2019Aaron Fox had six points apiece in the quarter as the Spurs extended their lead to 25 points.<\/p>\n

Fox finished with 12 points and Devin Vassell<\/a> had 11 as San Antonio\u2019s starters combined to score 68 points.<\/p>\n

The Spurs never trailed after giving up a 15-foot jumper to Markkanen in the game\u2019s opening minute. San Antonio went on an 18-2 run following a Flagrant Foul 1 by Darryn Peterson<\/a> on a wreckless closeout of Vassell\u2019s 3-pointer. <\/p>\n

Peterson finished with 14 points.<\/p>\n

The Jazz were 7 for 26 in scoring 16 points in the opening quarter, a season-low for Utah and season-best for San Antonio for the first period.<\/p>\n

Utah made 5 of 11 3-pointers in the second quarter in cutting San Antonio\u2019s lead to 37-36, but could not recapture the lead.<\/p>\n

The Spurs outscored the Jazz 26-9 on fastbreak points and 52-36 in the paint.<\/p>\n

Up next<\/p>\n

Jazz: At New Orleans on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Spurs: Host Dallas on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
