The San Antonio Spurs let it fly in their big win over the Miami Heat. From a voracious volley of threes to camping out at the charity stripe to the tune of 28 free throw attempts, these Spurs were cooking with gas on a night that 6 players scored in the double digits and the bench was able to spread its wings to protect their wide lead. Victor Wembanyama Sega Dreamcasted his way to 26 points, 15 rebounds, and 5 blocks while Keldon Johnson and Dylan Harper scored 21 points apiece from the bench.

The future is now. Here, the rookie duo of Dylan Harper and Carter Bryant showed off some chemistry and athleticism on the fast break. Carter Bryant, for his part, has been getting more run after the All-Star break partly due to sporadic injuries along the wings and the Spurs blowing out their opponents. While the youngster has been getting valuable learning time on the court, it’ll be interesting to see if he cracks the rotation during the playoffs.

Dylan ➡️ Carter

Don’t let Carter Bryant’s aerial acrobatics fool you, he jumped so high he could have blocked this attempt with his elbow, but he chose not to because his mother taught him better. Without manners, we are all just animals.

CARTER BRYANT WHAT A BLOCK —

OH MY GOODNESS. ????

We are all familiar with Keldon Johnson’s game, but I was not familiar with his behind-the-back dribble drive move.

KJ gettin' it done ????

I want to commission a study of all the lobs thrown to Wembanyama and see the percentages of passes that are too low or too high, but he converts them regardless because of his insane length and coordination.

????️ YEAH VIC!

My middle school gym teacher always told us to use the rim to protect your shot from any shot blockers, but even he was not a clairvoyant to know one day someone like Wembanyama can challenge that specific tenet of fundamental basketball 101. Would have also been nice if my middle school gym teacher told me to invest in Apple when it was $12 a share.

There’s only three things I want in life: (1) The Spurs’ Beautiful Game to live on in perpetuity, and (2) for one game only, let these two teams play in their Miami Vice and Fiesta colors on a court drenched in turquoise, aqua, orchid, teal, fuchsia, and orange. Our retinas have been freeloading in our skulls for long enough, time to assault them with a vibrantly violent color palette.

11-0 Spurs run.

The third thing I want in life is birria pizza. But I’ll settle for a deep Spurs playoff run led by Victor Wembanyama.

don't hurt em, Vic ????

If you missed the game because you were too busy writing a 5,000 word manifesto critiquing Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s hair in the live action “Moana” movie, here are the full-game highlights:

Next up, the Spurs head to Memphis to take on the Grizzlies on Wednesday, March 25, 2026.
