Ah yes, the towering San Antonio Spurs Frenchman once again proved he’s not of this world.
Shooting a sharp 10-of-17 from the field and adding seven rebounds and three blocks, Wembanyama was everywhere the Spurs needed him to be. He showed his range, knocking down two of his five three-point attempts and went 7-of-8 from the line, making sure to cash in on nearly every chance.
Houston’s strategy to slow down San Antonio focused heavily on Alperen Sengun and Jabari Smith Jr. as defensive anchors. Sengun’s role was to hedge and occasionally double Wembanyama off screens, but Wembanyama’s quick step-backs and mid-range touch allowed him to create separation consistently.
