With a couple of plays in the paint, the French power forward put San Antonio on the verge of tying the game, then he dispatched himself with a double block that ignited his teammates and was a key piece for the comeback that brought the game on time extra.
It was at that moment where he no longer left the court and his contribution was vital to his team’s 126-122 victory against Houston, making it clear that his process in the NBA is on the right track and that it will increasingly have more weight in both. sides of the court.
Unlike his debut, this time Victor Wembanyama He had no foul problems and was able to see action for 31 minutes to leave with 21 points, 12 boards (7 defensive and 5 offensive) and one assist. Those 21 points were the product of 7-19 from the field, 7-8 from the line and a disappointing, but improvable 0-6 from the arc.
If it weren’t for the big night of Devin Vassell, Wemby would have been the leading scorer of the night for San Antonio. The guard had 25 points in the 40 minutes he was on the court.
