Victor Wembanyama scored a season-high 41 points as the San Antonio Spurs earned a 10th successive win by beating the Golden State Warriors 127-113.

The Spurs have emerged as NBA title contenders during the second half of the campaign, winning 26 of their past 28 games.

The 22-year-old achieved his haul in just 29 minutes at Chase Center in California and also finished with 18 rebounds.

Stephon Castle and Julian Champagnie chipped in with 15 points each for San Antonio, who are second in the Western Conference – just two wins behind the Oklahoma City Thunder.

“We’re still going to play 100% to try to win this championship,” Wembanyama said.
