Detroit lost Ausur Thompson two minutes into the game when he sprained his right ankle.

San Antonio was 13 for 37 on 3-pointers in shooting 35%.

Wembanyama was 4 for 10 on 3-pointers while playing before 30 of his countrymen who traveled from France to attend San Antonio's six-game homestand.

Wembanyama had back-to-back dunks in the second quarter, including grabbing his own miss and throwing it down for what became a three-point play on a foul by Javonte Green.

In the fourth quarter, Wembanyama blocked Cunningham’s running floater then ran downcourt for an alley-oop dunk off a feed from Devin Vassell to give the Spurs a 103-90 lead.

Up next Pistons: Host Brooklyn on Saturday night.

Spurs: Host the Los Angeles Clippers on Friday night.
