He obviously had ants in his – very long – legs. After having seen the last three outings of the San Antonio Spurs from the bench, due to an injury to his knee following a clash with the Lakers Anthony Davis, Victor Wembanyama was back in business on the night of Saturday to Sunday. A resounding return for the Spurs Frenchie who was one of the main architects of his team’s stunning victory over Stephen Curry’s Golden Stats Warriors (104-94). An opponent who is nevertheless in first place in the disputed Western conference.
For his return to play, Wemby finished close to the triple double. The Spurs number 1 signs a complete stats sheet with 25 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 blocks.
Among the many spectacular sequences, which marked the retinas of the spectators, the defensive one where he made two counterattacks in a row with disconcerting ease two seconds apart, first on Jackson-Davis then on Kuminga.
An action which disgusted the Warriors, at the very start of the fourth quarter while the Spurs were trailing by seven points (78-85), and which has been circulating on social networks ever since.
