Wembanyama powers Spurs to first NBA playoff series win in nine years

Posted : 29 April 2026

Victor Wembanyama delivered a standout double-double performance to guide the San Antonio Spurs to a dominant 114-95 win over the Portland Trail Blazers, sealing a 4-1 series victory. The result marks the Spurs’ first playoff series win in nine years, with the team at one point leading by as many as 28 points in a commanding display.

Wembanyama finished with 17 points, 14 rebounds, and six blocks, while De'Aaron Fox led the scoring with 21 points. Six Spurs players reached double figures in a balanced team effort. Head coach Mitch Johnson praised the performance, calling it the team’s sharpest showing as they advanced to the Western Conference semi-finals.

Portland’s coach Tiago Splitter acknowledged San Antonio’s quality, praising their star power and overall execution. The Spurs now await either the Denver Nuggets or Minnesota Timberwolves in the next round.

In the Eastern Conference, Joel Embiid scored 33 points to lead the Philadelphia 76ers to a 113-97 win over the Boston Celtics, keeping their series alive at 3-2. Returning after an emergency appendectomy earlier in April, Embiid said he found his rhythm in the second half after tactical adjustments at halftime.

The win sets up a crucial Game 6 in Philadelphia, with a potential deciding game back in Boston if needed. In another Eastern Conference series, the New York Knicks moved closer to the next round after a strong win over the Atlanta Hawks, led by a big scoring performance from Jalen Brunson.
