Wemby throws down 'crazy' alley-oop, puts on show in preseason win

SAN ANTONIO -- Tre Jones wasn't trying to throw an alley-oop. He just wanted to get the ball where only Victor Wembanyama could get it.

The 7-foot-4 rookie just took care of the rest.

It was one of several highlight plays from Wembanyama as the San Antonio Spurs defeated a depleted Miami Heat squad, 120-104, on Friday night at the Frost Bank Center.

With a little more than 30 seconds left in the first half, Wembanyama had the ball on the right wing and Jones, who says he's 6-foot-2 on a good day, set a ball screen for his rookie teammate.
