Wembanyama stole the show from Knicks playmaker Jalen Brunson. Even though he scored 61 points! This left Brunson just one point behind the franchise record set by Carmelo Anthony (2014).

A consolation for Brunson after the spectacular defeat: In contrast to “Wemby” and the Spurs, he is on course for the playoffs in the NBA with the Knicks.
