San Antonio opened strongly, building a 36-22 lead in the first quarter with Stephon Castle contributing 13 early points. Brooklyn mounted a response to open the third quarter with a 13-4 run that trimmed the deficit to 75-69 with 8: 34 remaining in the period, but the Spurs closed that quarter by outscoring the Nets 29-15 to put the game firmly out of reach.
Individual Context: Champagnie’s Homecoming and Wembanyama’s All-Round Line
Julian Champagnie, who played college basketball at St. John’s and grew up on Staten Island, described the game as meaningful to return to New York with a strong performance in front of hometown fans; he told the Spurs TV broadcast team he had to buy 17 tickets for family and friends. Victor Wembanyama’s stat line continued to show two-way impact despite a modest scoring night.
What the 11-Game Streak Means for the West Race
The 11-game winning streak is the third longest in the NBA this season, trailing only the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 16-game run and the Detroit Pistons’ 13-game streak. Coupled with Oklahoma City’s loss to the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday, the Spurs are now only 1. 5 games back of Oklahoma City for the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference. The Spurs and Thunder do not meet again for the remainder of the regular season. San Antonio has 23 games left on its schedule; Oklahoma City has 22.
The 11-0 February was the third undefeated month in Spurs history and the franchise’s first undefeated month since a 16-0 March during the 2013-14 season.

Coach and Team Takeaways
Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said after the game that it feels like the players are finding different ways to win, a remark he offered in the postgame remarks. San Antonio’s ability to diversify scoring — with Champagnie’s shooting, Castle’s early burst, Vassell’s perimeter threat and Wembanyama’s all-around impact — underpinned the run that produced the 11th straight victory. San Antonio’s last defeat before this streak came on Jan. 31, a 111-106 loss to the Charlotte Hornets.
As the Spurs ride an 11-game streak and carry an undefeated February into March, attention will turn quickly to maintaining momentum through a 23-game stretch that determines final positioning in the West and shapes playoff seeding scenarios.
