The San Antonio Spurs beat the Phoenix Suns on Monday night, winning 122-96. To end the first quarter, the Spurs began to pull away, never looking back. Early in the second half, the Suns were able to cut their deficit to ten points, although the Spurs rallied, ending the would-be run.

The Spurs as a whole dominated the paint and were able to space the floor rather well, going 36.7 percent from 3-point range.

When both Dylan Harper and Stephon Castle can get downhill and attack the rim, the Spurs are unstoppable. Of course, they were led by Victor Wembanyama, who finished with an eye-popping 40 points, 11 rebounds, and eight blocked shots.

There's really no hope for opponents when Victor Wembanyama comes to town.

Luka Donicic is in the middle of a scoring tear, scoring 40 or more points in his last four games and scoring under 30 only twice this season, although he doesn't impose fear as Wembanyama does. The defensive dominance is simply unparalleled, and Wemby's ability to run the floor after stuffing a shot is one of the most demoralizing one-two punches in all of sports.

The Suns got to see firsthand just how dominant Wembanyama is this season.

Phoenix didn't play a bad game, per se. As a team, the Suns shot a respectable 34.6 percent from 3-point range and were led by 32 points from Devin Booker, who secured his ninth 3-point game against the Spurs in his career. He's a Spurs killer, but with limited help and a total inability to score at the rim, the Suns were rather limited.

Stephon Castle only offered four points for the Spurs, although he was able to crash the boards and distribute the ball with ease, proving that his value goes well beyond the final tally.

The Spurs were without Devin Vassell in the matchup, who is dealing with a minor abductor injury. November is a grueling month for the Spurs, with lots of travel and limited rest, so expect other players to miss time here and there.

As long as injuries don't pile up, the Spurs should be just fine as the season heats up.
