Spurs Achieve First 5-0 NBA Season Start With Win Over Heat

The San Antonio Spurs have started the 2025 NBA season with a historic 5-0 record, a franchise first, highlighted by a decisive victory over the Miami Heat. Victor Wembanyama, the 7-foot-4 star and Western Conference Player of the Week, has been pivotal, contributing significantly on defense with blocks and on offense, while teammates like Stephon Castle and Devin Vassell have also stepped up, demonstrating strong team defense and clutch play. The Spurs disrupted the Heat's fast-paced offense by forcing turnovers and controlling the game tempo, limiting contributions from Miami's supporting cast despite Bam Adebayo's scoring efforts. This season marks a new era for the Spurs under a youthful roster and coaching staff, moving past previous struggles against the Heat and striving to break longstanding franchise records. San Antonio's disciplined approach, including drawing fouls to hinder Miami's transition game, and strategic adjustments against opponents have positioned them as a dominant force in the Western Conference. The Spurs' aim is not only to maintain their undefeated start but also to finally overcome the Heat, who have historically been a challenging opponent.
