Opposed to the Nets, Victor Wembanyama’s Spurs lost (again…), 123-103. The French rookie, however, planted 21 points, 4 rebounds, 3 assists and 1 block in 25 minutes. The cruising speed is maintained, but Vic’ could undoubtedly have darkened the sheet a little more. Debrief.
Complete stats
What to remember from this performance by Victor Wembanyama against the Nets? No doubt it once again meets its standard of twenty units in 25 minutes. A slightly complicated start to the meeting, with trash halfway through.
Guarded successively by Mikal Bridges, Ben Simmons and Nic Claxton, Wemby encountered some difficulties expressing himself with the ball in hand. The shoot is privileged, but the success is very average. Fortunately, he’s in much better shape when it comes to receiving the leather under the basket. And therefore there are several passages on the throwing line.

Dorian Finney-Smith particularly paid the price, suffering his last three authorized fouls on the Frenchman. It was on the way back from the locker room that Vic’s hand was particularly warm. Three 3-point strings, one well behind the line. Frustrating when his teammates decide to play a little more for them later. Come on, you still have to share.
His duel with Nic Claxton in the paint? It turned in favor of the interior of the Nets (20 points, 11 rebounds) who brought the physical intensity to make his hole under the circle. Not forgetting the dose of trashtalk which goes well, with two or three well-aimed looks at successful dunks. The Spurs lost 123-103, nothing to say about the overall content of the match. The Nets deserve their success and end a series of three consecutive defeats.
Next meeting for Wemby and Spurs? Monday evening, at the Raptors (1h30). See you in Toronto!
