The San Antonio Spurs won their fourth game in a row on Saturday night, beating the Minnesota Timberwolves 121-111. Granted, Anthony Edwards was out for the Wolves, although the Spurs were clearly the better team all game long, especially in the second half.

Victor Wembanyama set a career high with 34 shots and finished with a well-rounded and MVP-worthy 43 points, seven rebounds, and six blocked shots. He was quite easily the best player on the floor, although the win streak, you could say, was after every game.

De'Aaron Fox finished with a solid- although more modest--22 points, seven assists, and eight rebounds. After a slow-ish start to last season and a lackluster Finals appearance, he's finally settled in as the secondary star the Spurs traded for. Wemby knows that the offense wouldn't hum if it weren't for Fox.

The Spurs traded away three first-round picks and three role players to add Fox in February of 2025. A finger injury prevented him from playing much that season, and a calf injury slowed him down at the start of last season, although he did manage to make the All-Star team.

San Antonio expected him to be the undisputed steady second option next to Wembanyama, and through six games, he's been exactly that.

"We know to go to him late in the game, we know to put the ball in his hands," said Wemby. "He knows to go get the ball. And he's been really locked in defensively, too. So it's a true point guard."

Fox is fully aware that he and Wemby should be the best one-two punch in the NBA.

"It's hard to stop us when we're all on the same page," he offered.

To Fox's credit, he knows that he's a supporting player and has fully embraced that role. After starting his career on the Kings, he's just happy to have a chance to play winning basketball.

"Vic's probably the best roller ever to play the game, probably the best lob threat ever," he said, before pivoting to his own skill set. "I'm just trying to be efficient, trying to affect the game in different ways. Get downhill, I think before I was having like 20 paint touches a night, and I think that's an emphasis. If I'm able to get into the paint, either finish, lob to Vic, or just kick the ball out, and that just starts the domino effect. It's not even necessarily kicking the ball out for someone to shoot a 3. It's just to get them in rotations, and I think we play better."

After losing their first two games to start the season, the Spurs look like the best team in the NBA, and the Fox/Wembanyama duo is a massive reason why.
