The San Antonio Spurs dominated the Utah Jazz 123-110 behind Victor Wembanyama, dropping seven 3-pointers and 33 points and 10 rebounds on Monday.
Wembanyama was named to his second All-Star team and the eighth San Antonio player to start.
Spurs had seven players score in double figures in winning their third consecutive game and for the fifth time in seven games.
San Antonio’s defensive trio combined to score 47 points, as Stephon Castle dropped 18 points, Dylan Harper added 15 and De’Aaron Fox had 14 points.
Keyonte George had 30 points and Jusuf Nurkic added 20 for the Jazz.
Utah snapped the Spurs’ eight-game winning streak in the teams’ previous meeting on Dec. 27, when San Antonio and Wembanyama ensured there would be no repeat.
The French big man was 3 for 4 on three-pointers by scoring 13 points in the opening quarter and had 21 points at the half.
They outscored the Jazz 35-23 in the third quarter and turned a four-point halftime lead into their 17th double-digit win.
Wembanyama averaged 31.3 points during a three-game sweep of their homestand, while Utah has lost four straight games and finished its road trip with a 1-4 win-loss record.
Both teams play Tuesday, with the Jazz hosting the Timberwolves while the Spurs play in Houston.
