SAN ANTONIO (AP) – Victor Wembanyama had the highest points of his career and the San Antonio Spurs earned a 139-130 victory over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday night.

Wembanyama was 8 of 16 on 3-pointers, also setting a career high, as San Antonio won for the second straight year.

Jordan Poole had 42 points for Washington, which lost for the sixth straight season.

At 20 years and 314 days, Wembanyama is the fourth-youngest player to score 50 points, behind only Brandon Jennings (20/52), LeBron James (20/80) and Devin Booker (20/145).

Wembanyama becomes the eighth player in franchise history to score 50 points. David Robinson holds the franchise record with 71 points against the Los Angeles Clippers on April 24, 1994.

Wembanyama’s previous high was 49 points in a 130-126 overtime win over New York. He made at least six three-pointers for the third straight game.
