This French night was less beautiful than expected with the absences of Victor Wembanyama and Zaccharie Risacher, but some still managed to perform like Ousmane Dieng and Sidy Cissoko. The two young Frenchmen scored 15 points each.
Ousmane Dieng regularly shows that he is too strong for the G League, the Summer League and the pre-season games in which the starters are not held accountable. But last night, most of the Oklahoma City Thunder stars were on the floor and yet, the Frenchman was surely the best player of the match.
Sometimes used on the wings and sometimes as a small interior, โOusโ sent 15 points and 8 rebounds on 4/7 shooting in his teamโs victory. He was very aggressive and went to the free throw line seven times.

Sidy Cissoko was the only Frenchman on the Spurs in uniform against the Houston Rockets. It did not dismount, despite the defeat of the spurs. The fullback took advantage of his 23 minutes of playing time by being aggressive and efficient. He finished second in scoring on his team, just behind rookie Stephon Castle.

Rockets announcers praising Charles Bassey and Sidy Cissoko- who scored 15 points on 6-8 shooting. As I reported last week, the Spurs have big plans for the โCisco Kid.โ #PorVida https://t.co/MYkS9YrvX8 pic.twitter.com/fb1EJoLuKF
