Sandro Mamukelashvili scored a career-high 34 points on 13-for-14 shooting in 19 minutes to become the first player in NBA history to score 34 points while playing less than 20 minutes as the San Antonio Spurs upended the New York Knicks 120-105 on Wednesday night.

The San Antonio Spurs, as they build a young core, have the vast majority of their players under contract for at least a few seasons. Plus, they have to keep money on the table to extend Victor Wembanyama, De'Aaron Fox, Jeremy Sochan, and eventually, rookie Stephon Castle when the time comes.

San Antonio Spurs forward Sandro Mamukelashvili carved out a unique place in NBA history in Wednesday's 120-105 win over the New York Knicks. The fourth-year big came off the bench to score 34 points in 19 minutes on the floor.
