MIAMI  – Victor Wembanyama became the fourth-youngest player to score 50 points in an NBA game when the 20-year-old Frenchman led the San Antonio Spurs to a 139-130 win over the Washington Wizards on Wednesday.

The first overall pick in last year’s draft rattled up his career-high 50 points in just 26 minutes and ended the game with 18-29 shooting with eight three-pointers – also a career high.

Wembanyama wasn’t the only player to break the 50-point mark on Wednesday. Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 59 as the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Detroit Pistons 127-120 in overtime.

The Greek star shot 21 of 34 and had 14 rebounds and seven assists in what was the highest point performance by a player so far this season.

The unbeaten Cleveland Cavaliers made it 13 straight wins in the NBA with a 114-106 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.
