The Spurs snapped a five-game losing streak while improving their record to 6-30. The Pistons dropped to 3-35 while losing their sixth straight. They have lost 34 of their past 35 games.

Detroit was playing for the second time without top scorer Cade Cunningham, who has a strained left knee.

Jalen Duren topped the Pistons with 21 points and 12 rebounds. Jaden Ivey had 19 points and five assists and Bojan Bogdanovic also tossed in 19 points. Alec Burks added 15 points and Kevin Knox II had 12.

The Spurs led by as many as 16 points in the first half and held a 63-51 advantage at the break. Wembanyama had 12 points, nine rebounds and four assists at intermission, while Sochan and Johnson contributed 11 points apiece. Bogdanovic paced the Pistons with 14 points and Duren added 11.

The Pistons never mounted a threat in the second half.

Wembanyama opened it with a dunk, then set up Vassell for another dunk after a steal by Julian Champagnie.

San Antonio's lead grew to 19, 76-57, on Jones' three-point play with 7:22 to go in the third. Johnson's free throws with 1:11 remaining in the quarter pushed the Spurs' lead to 20, 93-73.

San Antonio carried a 95-77 into the fourth quarter. McDermott knocked down two 3-pointers during the first two minutes to increase the advantage to 24 at 103-79, and the Spurs cruised from there.
