san antonio – San Antonio won against the Lakers (107-91) last night. Wembanyama scored less but still came away with a double-double. Léon Marchand attended the match
Léon Marchand brought luck to Victor Wembanyama. The French swimmer attended the victory of the Spurs against the Lakers last night (107-91), a match from which Wemby emerged with 26 minutes in the legs and a double double not necessarily spectacular but valuable (16 points, 14 rebounds). The Frenchman, who once again started on the bench to avoid a relapse, sometimes managed to shine in front of a Luka Doncic on fire (38 points)like his double counter on the Slovenian in the same action at the end of the first quarter.
Wemby, who celebrated his 22nd birthday on Sunday, totaled four blocks, including another at a very high altitude against Marcus Smart, and a violent tap dunk in the second period.
Alone in the world, Doncic slams a triple double
The Lakers were without Austin Reaves and LeBron James, the latter being rested after playing the day before to manage pain in his left foot (osteoarthritis) and back pain down to his right leg (sciatica). In distress behind the arc (4 of 25 at 16%), the Texans were able to count on the energy of Keldon Johnson (27 points), facing Doncic (38 points, 10 rebounds, 10 assists) brilliant but lonely. This success for the Spurs allows them to secure their 2nd place in the Western Conference standings, behind the Thunder.
