Wembanyama stars as red-hot Spurs sink Celtics
French star Wembanyama spearheaded another dazzling all-round offensive performance from San Antonio, who have now won 16 of their last 17 games.
Wembanyama's tally included eight three-pointers -- matching his NBA career high -- along with 11 rebounds and two blocks against a Boston side who have also been in prime form recently.
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said Wembanyama's ability to shoot from long range posed a dilemma for opposition defenses.
"He's shown he can obviously get hot and make shots," Johnson said.
