Kirby Lee-Imagn Images How a ‘locked in’ offseason prepared Spurs for championship push appeared first on ClutchPoints . Add ClutchPoints as a Preferred Source by clicking here . In beating the Sacramento Kings 132-104, the San Antonio Spurs captured their first 51st win of the season.
Building on their first 50-win season in almost a decade is an accomplishment Victor Wembanyama says is more than a year in the making. “I look back and I think, ‘I hope we can be this locked in for all the off-seasons to come,’ because it was a really high-level preparation mentally, physically for everybody; the amount of film we did. And this is the reason we were so ready for the season.
So, that’s what I think when I look back. ” San Antonio entered the year off a 34-48 campaign that followed a 22-60 mark in Wemby’s rookie season. Though that provides the context for what’s proven a very impressive 2025-2026, it reaches minimal expectation for the generational talent .
“One thing you can say is taking each step at a time and validating the checking of boxes. My goal was never to make the play-in or win the play-in. It was to get into the playoffs with no question and that would’ve made a successful season at the time,” the Spurs’ leading scorer said following a victory the night before against the Los Angeles Clippers.
