This is the fourth year that the NBA has held regular season games in Paris.
“It's been really fun to be here,” Haliburton said. “It helps develop the game.
“We just wanted to leave town in good shape. It was a really good show from us tonight and [we] “I just want to keep this momentum going.”
Wembanyama, who was part of France's squad that lost to the United States in the Olympic final last summer, scored 30 points in Thursday's win over the Pacers.
The Pacers are fifth in the Eastern Conference and the Spurs are fourth in the West.
