Wembanyama Game Score: 28.3
Wembanyama’s efficiency game score of 28.3 was the highest on the floor for either team. He finished the night 11-of-20 from the field, grabbed 14 defensive boards, added 4 blocks, and dished 6 assists against just 1 turnover. That kind of two-way impact is why he’s already one of the most unique players in the NBA.

Kings Performance at a Glance
Three Kings players hit 20 points but Sacramento still lost by 17. That’s a reflection of how dominant San Antonio was on every other layer of the game. Raynaud was quietly impressive with a double-double (16 pts, 12 reb) off the bench, pulling down 7 offensive boards. Westbrook’s night was rough: 7 points on 3-of-9 shooting, 5 turnovers, and a minus-21.
Advanced Player Efficiency Comparison
Player | Team | True Shooting% | Offensive Rating | Efficiency Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Victor Wembanyama | SAS | 60.7% | 135.5 | 28.3 |
Stephon Castle | SAS | 71.9% | 140.9 | 16.9 |
Keldon Johnson | SAS | 65.4% | 125.7 | 10.5 |
DeMar DeRozan | SAC | 57.5% | 117.8 | 16.6 |
Malik Monk | SAC | 59.4% | 118.3 | 15.1 |
Maxime Raynaud | SAC | 50.8% | 122.5 | 15.2 |
Keegan Murray | SAC | 54.9% | 108.2 | 12.7 |
Wembanyama’s offensive rating of 135.5 with a true shooting percentage of 60.7% in 20 field goal attempts is the kind of line that reminds you what he is capable of. Castle, the rookie guard, was arguably the second most efficient Spur on the night, converting at 71.9% true shooting while adding 8 rebounds.
How the Spurs Won This Game
Let’s cut to what actually happened here. San Antonio controlled three areas that mattered most: the paint, second-chance opportunities, and transition defense.
Points in the Paint was where this game got decided before the final whistle. The Spurs scored 74 points in the paint compared to Sacramento’s 46. Wembanyama alone accounted for 18 of those, attacking the rim with his impossible combination of length and footwork. Stephon Castle added 10 paint points, and Dylan Harper chipped in another 10.
Second chance points were equally punishing. San Antonio converted 26 second-chance points on 12 offensive rebounds. The Kings managed just 9. Wembanyama grabbed 1 offensive board. Luke Kornet grabbed 3. Castle grabbed 3 more. Across the board, Sacramento just could not keep San Antonio off the glass.
Bench scoring was the other separator. The Spurs bench combined for 59 points, led by Castle (18), Johnson (18), Harper (12), and Barnes (14). The Kings bench replied with 45. That’s a 14-point swing from reserves alone, and in a 17-point loss, that margin is decisive.
Individual Storylines Worth Talking About
Victor Wembanyama: 28 Pts, 15 Reb, 6 Ast, 4 Blk
There’s a reason this is already a must-watch matchup every time Wembanyama takes the floor. He put together a double-double with four blocks, six assists, and only one turnover in this one. His defensive rating for the game stood at 99.7, meaning the Kings actually scored less than league average when Wemby was their primary assignment. His plus-minus of +32 was the highest on the floor.

DeMar DeRozan: 20 Pts on 38.5% Shooting
DeRozan got to the free throw line ten times and converted all ten, which kept his numbers respectable. But the volume shooting at 38.5% from the field in a losing effort on minus-31 plus-minus is a tough night. He was Sacramento’s most experienced voice on the floor and it still wasn’t enough.
Maxime Raynaud: A Quiet Double-Double
Raynaud went 16 points and 12 rebounds including 7 offensive boards. His effort was genuine. But with a defensive rating of 126.9, he had real trouble slowing Spurs bigs in the drop coverage, and San Antonio went right at him repeatedly in pick-and-roll actions.
Russell Westbrook: A Night to Forget
Seven points. Five turnovers. Three-of-nine from the field. Minus-21. Westbrook’s line reflects a team struggling to find its identity as the season heads into the final stretch. He did add a block and a steal, but the turnovers were back-breaking in real time.
Paint Dominance: The Stat That Defined This Game
Category | Spurs | Kings |
|---|---|---|
Points in Paint | 74 | 46 |
Paint Attempts Made | 37/52 (71.2%) | 23/43 (53.5%) |
At-Rim Attempts | 28/36 (77.8%) | 15/22 (68.2%) |
Offensive Rebounds | 12 | 10 |
Second Chance Points | 26 | 9 |
Second Chance Conv% | 78.6% | 40.0% |
The numbers above confirm what anyone watching felt. San Antonio got to the rim more often, converted at a higher rate, and cleaned up their misses far more efficiently. The Kings actually had a decent 68.2% at-rim conversion rate, but they were simply getting there less often.
Scoring by Role
Segment | Spurs | Kings |
|---|---|---|
Starters (estimate) | ~80 | ~77 |
Bench Points | 59 | 45 |
Fast Break Points | 18 | 17 |
Points Off Turnovers | 24 | 17 |
Fast break points were nearly even. The difference came in points off turnovers: San Antonio scored 24 points off Sacramento’s 12 turnovers while the Kings could only generate 17 from 18 Spurs turnovers. Even in transition, San Antonio converted its chances at a higher rate.
Context: Where Both Teams Stand
Sacramento came into this game on a rough run. They had dropped to Orlando 94-131 the night before and were now in the middle of a stretch that saw them go 0-for-2 in back-to-back games with serious defensive lapses. Giving up 139 points at San Antonio’s AT&T Center, even if the Spurs are surging, is a real concern.
San Antonio, meanwhile, is building something worth watching. The young core of Wembanyama, Castle, and Harper is getting meaningful time together and the results are showing. The Spurs’ offensive rating of 123.8 and effective field goal percentage of 62.2% in this game are the kinds of marks that elite offenses put up.
The Kings’ assists-to-turnover ratio for the game was 2.75 compared to San Antonio’s 1.88, meaning Sacramento was actually more careful with the ball overall. But their 46.9% shooting and inability to defend the paint erased that advantage entirely.
Head-to-Head Shooting Efficiency
Shooting Zone | Spurs FG% | Kings FG% |
|---|---|---|
At Rim | 77.8% | 68.2% |
Mid-Range | 25.0% | 61.9% |
3-Point | 38.2% | 28.1% |
Overall FG% | 55.3% | 46.9% |
Effective FG% | 62.2% | 51.6% |
One of the more interesting splits here: Sacramento actually shot 61.9% from mid-range compared to San Antonio’s 25.0%. That’s a significant difference. But the Kings’ mid-range game only generated 13 made buckets, while the Spurs were doing their damage at the rim and from three, both higher-value zones on the floor. The shot distribution told the story.
Final Takeaways
This was a complete performance from San Antonio and a tough night all around for Sacramento. A few things stand out from the full box score:
What worked for the Spurs
- Wembanyama’s all-around impact was the difference-maker early and late
- Three players hit 18 points from the bench
- Their second-chance conversion rate of 78.6% was borderline elite
- They held Sacramento to 46 points in the paint
What went wrong for the Kings
- DeRozan, Monk, and Murray combined for 59 points but the team still lost by 17
- Westbrook’s 5 turnovers and minus-21 hurt the lineup every time he was on the floor
- Sacramento converted just 28.1% from three on 32 attempts
- Their biggest lead all game was just 4 points
Sacramento needs to figure out defensive paint coverage and rotation in a hurry if they want to stay competitive heading toward the end of the regular season. San Antonio is legitimately dangerous right now.
The full sacramento kings vs san antonio spurs match player stats from February 21, 2026 show a Spurs team operating at a high level on both ends while the Kings continue to search for consistency in the second half of the season.
