[Highlight] Victor Wembanyama hits the clutch jumper and then the clutch 3-pointer over Rudy Gobert, giving him 37 points (with replays). Also grabs a nice rebound.
That spinning one legger on Gobert was so nice. Not much you can do when his shot is falling.
40/15/5blks is a goated statline, love it when both teams play well but a superstar is the difference
Only 4 players to ever have 35/15/5b in a playoff game
Hakeem, Shaq, Kareem, Wemby lol
Crazy company to be in
In his 3rd year man.
We’re witnessing greatness already.
If only Timmy had scored a bit more in 2003 finals game 6, the quad double game.
20/21/10/8 on 9⁄19 shooting is absurd and he was actually averaging like 28 points that series so this was a low scoring masterpiece from him
That’s what I’m saying! Wemby can get that any time needs to work on that high percentage play
I’m having Hakeem PTSD flashbacks from that move
I didnt even know he worked with Hakeem but i recognize whose move that is/was.
Wemby is dangerous, working on this game and being this clutch early in his career?
On behalf of all of us who hate OKC
Thank you to the basketball gods for this dude
lol. was just thinking that. spurs gonna knock okc out cold.

Not even about this year, his teams gonna most likely get the better of them his whole career
Don’t know how some people are watching this dude and still handing OKC the West on paper. Especially with JDub hurt. Wemby is a god damn raid boss.
Spurs also generate a ton of open corner threes (which OKC gives up more than most) and create unless downhill pressure.
Not a ideal matchup, and the record bares that out
He’s gonna have to deal with 3 people attacking him all series, wearing him down, fouling him, 1 guy jumping on his knees, as he’s trying to score on the bigs who are also good defenders themselves. First couple of games will be important, because I think Wemby will be finished by the end of the series. If they can steal 1 in OKC, they have a much better chance. If they go 2-0, I think its over
Dominating Gobert tonight
No victor No!
Err Yes Victor yes!!
All that constant fouling by the Wolves on Wemby and they still lose. Such a terrible team to watch.
It will get worse next round if the spurs advance
Shiiiii man. Look at him directing traffic on the second play. Perfectly sets up the flare action for himself to get an open 3
To some people he’s barely a positive offensive player somehow compared to the top 3-5 offensive players in the league.
Sacre-bleu!!!
He’s still raw offensively
Wemby is insane, dudes something special and played a great game.
But what is Gobert supposed to do on that 3? The screen he is trying to fight through looks more like an NFL linemen holding a defender on a pass rush. Like the contact Starts at the 3 point line and finishes at the arch, how is that not an illegal screen?
what is Gobert supposed to do
Uh… grab Wemby’s jersey and hold on for dear life like he did on every other possession this game?
Wemby directing traffic on the play…
Gobert - shit shit shit
The Hakeem spinning fallaway over Rudy.
That one-armed rebound snatch at the end was amusing as well.
For this series, the Wolves keeps getting burned by the Spurs’s simple horns-flare action. Rudy can’t navigate screens but you don’t really want to switch a smaller player on Wemby.
