Photos from Spurs vs Grizzlies show Wembanyama’s rim protection, fast start, and decisive road win

A snapshot of a one-sided night in Memphis

A new photo gallery from the San Antonio Spurs’ latest matchup with the Memphis Grizzlies documents a game that tilted early and never meaningfully swung back. San Antonio won 123–98 at FedExForum on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, building separation in the opening quarter and extending the margin with consistent shot-making and control of the paint.

The images capture the game’s defining theme: San Antonio’s ability to create clean looks on one end while shrinking the floor on the other, particularly around the rim.

First-quarter separation set the tone

San Antonio’s early pace and spacing were evident from the opening minutes. The Spurs led 38–19 after one quarter, a margin reflected in sequences of transition pushes, kick-out threes, and Memphis possessions that ended in contested attempts. By halftime, the Spurs had established a 57–44 advantage, then widened it with a 41-point third quarter that effectively settled the outcome.

• Quarter-by-quarter: Spurs 38–19, 19–25, 41–20, 25–34.
• Largest lead: 39 points.
• San Antonio led for virtually the entire game.

Wembanyama’s interior impact is the gallery’s anchor

Several frames center on Victor Wembanyama’s defensive presence—vertical contests, recoveries, and help-side rotations that limited Memphis finishes. Wembanyama recorded 19 points, 15 rebounds and seven blocks, a stat line that aligns with the visual story of Memphis drives redirected or erased near the basket.

Photos also highlight the Spurs’ ball movement and varied scoring sources, with lead-initiating actions flowing into secondary creation. San Antonio shot 52% from the field (46-of-89) and went 16-of-46 from three-point range. Memphis shot 40% (34-of-86) and also made 16 threes, but had fewer second chances and struggled to match San Antonio’s physical and positional advantages on the glass.

Rebounding and shot quality shaped the margin

The gallery includes multiple sequences of Spurs rebounds and immediate outlets—small details that added up. San Antonio held a 59–33 rebounding edge, which helped stabilize defensive possessions and generate extra opportunities. Even with 15 turnovers, the Spurs’ advantages in rebounding and interior defense reduced the number of competitive stretches.

Final: Spurs 123, Grizzlies 98 (FedExForum, Memphis; March 25, 2026).

Where it leaves both teams

The game concluded with San Antonio improving to 55–18 and extending a seven-game winning streak, while Memphis fell to 24–48. The images collectively underline the gap on this night: a Spurs team playing with control and depth, and a Grizzlies group unable to consistently solve San Antonio’s size, rebounding, and rim protection.
