Relive, on video, the Frenchman’s best actions during San Antonio’s victory against the Rockets (126-122).
21 points, 12 rebounds and 3 blocks: the statistics are impressive. They are not enough to understand the impact of Victor Wembanyama on the Spurs’ victory against the Rockets (126-122) on Friday at the Frost Bank Center. Discreet offensively in the first period, the 19-year-old Frenchman, who was only playing his second game in the NBA, took responsibility at the end of the game, between the fourth quarter and overtime. On both sides of the field, we saw him make classy gestures, gestures that matter, gestures that score, like this reverse dunk on Jabari Smith Jr’s face after a series of dribbles. How many players of this size are so agile, mobile, graceful? Spoilers: none. The “highlights”.
