Victor Wembanyama scored 29 points as the San Antonio Spurs laid down a playoff marker with a dazzling 145- 120 thrashing of the Houston Rockets on Sunday.

French superstar Wembanyama was one of six Spurs players to reach double figures as San Antonio bombarded Western Conference rivals Houston with a stream of 21 three-pointers.

Wembyanama dominated at both ends of the court, fleshing out his stat line with four blocks and two steals in addition to eight rebounds.

The towering Frenchman was backed with 23 points from Stephon Castle and 20 points apiece from De’Aaron Fox and Keldon Johnson.
