What a game ! Victor Wembanyama did not initially light up the San Antonio room, but then rose to an impressive level of play to bring the Spurs back against the Nuggets. This gives a crazy statistical line once again: 34 points, 12 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 interception and 2 blocks at 12/27 shooting including 5/12 at 3-points. Bonus ? Devonte’ Graham scores the winning shot with 1 second remaining!
The complete statistics
Each start of an article aimed at summarizing a Victor Wembanyama match begins in much the same way: we lack adjectives to describe this guy. Last night, the French pivot of Spurs was sparkling as he has very rarely (never?) been. In a very short sequence, certainly, but he came close to the definition of unplayable. Come on, we can’t make the suspense last any longer.
Victor Wembanyama was particularly angry in this first half.
He initially complained about several uncalled contacts on him, had a brief altercation with Gordon, and ended up receiving a technical foul after yelling at the referee.

17 points, in 3 minutes. You read correctly. 17 points. 3 minutes. Against the reigning NBA champions. Why how ? Heat check like crazy, Wemby crushed the Nuggets without leaving a crumb. This happened upon returning from the locker room, after a clash with Aaron Gordon just before the break which annoyed Victor quite a bit, causing a technical foul against him. Good, that way you will also know that you should not heat it.

In its wake, the Spurs, who were trailing by 18 points at the break, are seriously getting back into the match. The Nuggets try to regain the lead, but the damage is done: the room is overheated, the whole audience is shouting to push their troops to the limit. Jamal Murray and his 35 points last night won’t do anything, it’s Devonte’ Graham who has the last word: 4 points in the last minute, including the shot wins with 0.9 seconds remaining. Denver is disconcerted, and lets the last possession slip away on a throw-in time violation. Victory for the Spurs, who reshuffles all the cards in the race to the top of the West!
