The San Antonio Spurs kept their NBA Cup hopes alive on Tuesday night with a convincing 128-115 victory over the Utah Jazz, fueled by outstanding performances from their dynamic duo of Victor Wembanyama and rookie Stephon Castle, affectionately known as “Area 51.”

Wembanyama dominated on both ends and finished with 34 points on 13 of 23 shooting, seven rebounds, two assists and three blocks.

The 7-foot-4 phenom was a matchup nightmare for the Jazz as he scored efficiently in the paint and stretched the court with his versatility.

Castle, the Spurs’ rookie guard from UConn, continued to impress, scoring 23 points on 9 of 20 shooting. He also contributed three rebounds, five assists and a block, making him a strong complement to Wembanyama in the backcourt.

Julian Champagnie gave the Spurs a boost by scoring 15 points while hitting 4 of 9 from long range. He also contributed two assists and three steals, making decisive plays in crucial moments.

Defensively, the Spurs had some trouble containing Utah’s offensive leader. Keyonte George scored 26 points while Collin Sexton and John Collins added 20 each.

Despite these efforts, San Antonio rallied towards the end of the game and secured the away win.

With the win, the Spurs improve to 10-8 on the season and are gaining momentum.

They are now 3-1 against the Jazz this year and will look to continue their winning streak when they take on the Los Angeles Lakers tomorrow night at 8:30 p.m
