Victor Wembanyama insisted it was no fluke that the San Antonio Spurs made franchise history with their victory over the Miami Heat on Friday. 

San Antonio emerged 107-101 victors against the Heat to improve to 5-0 in the NBA this season, the first time they had ever done so in their history. 

Wembanyama led from the front with a team-high 26 points, while also registering 18 rebounds, six assists and five blocks, but he was also backed up by team-mates. 

San Antonio had six players score in double figures, including 21 points from Stephon Castle, with Devin Vassell also chipping in with 17 points of his own. 

Indeed, it was Wembanyama's third career game with at least 25 points, 15 rebounds, five assists and five blocks, placing him third on the all-time list in Spurs history behind David Robinson (eight) and Tim Duncan (six). 

Ahead of San Antonio's win, the Spurs, Heat and Sacramento Kings were the only franchises never to open a season 5-0, though Wembanyama credited his team's work in the offseason as key to their red-hot start.

"It feels great," Wembanyama said. "It's not random. We didn't get those five wins randomly. We worked for it.

"We started this season strong, and we need to keep that streak going for as long as possible."

San Antonio's victories have seen them also take down the Dallas Mavericks, New Orleans Pelicans, Brooklyn Nets and Toronto Raptors, though Miami posed their toughest test to date in their latest game. 

Erik Spoelstra's team had averaged a league-high 131.5 points from their first four games, but were limited to a season-low haul, with their previous lowest score coming during their 115-107 win over the New York Knicks. 

And despite the Spurs almost letting a 15-point advantage slip in the final quarter, Wembanyama and his team were able to hold on and get themselves over the line. 

"That instant, I'm feeling like it's like the exclamation point when we have [a] 99% chance of winning the game," Wembanyama added. "It's just me feeding off that energy.

"It feels great because it was a hard game, and it feels good to have this relief and to live that with these people.

"I was thinking about the 5-0 record, the Spurs' history, and I was just proud of being a Spur at that moment."

Wembanyama's latest display has also continued his fine individual start to the campaign. 

The Frenchman is only the second player in NBA history behind Bob McAdoo (1975) to average at least 30 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks through the first five games of a season since 1973-74.
