Victor Wembanyama and the Spurs beat the Heat on Thursday night to move to 5-0. Wembanyama had a ho-hum 27 points, 18 rebounds, six assists and five blocks.
Surprisingly, this was the first time a Spurs team has ever started a season 5-0. Considering the number of Hall of Fame players who played for the team, often at the same time, that was a surprising thing for people to learn. It means that neither Tim Duncan nor David Robinson ever started a year 5-0. None of the teams that won the franchise's five titles between 1999 and 2014 ever started 5-0.
