Victor Wembanyama Stuns NBA With 35-Point Playoff Debut — Is He the Future of Basketball?

Wembanyama went an impressive 8-of-13 from the field in the first 24 minutes, and did a little bit of everything with ease — including absolutely working Deni Adija to set up a wild dunk in the first quarter.

But Portland opened the second half on an 8-0 run, which cut the game back to just a single possession and forced a Spurs timeout not even three minutes into the period. The first-half advantage they had built disappeared almost immediately.

Spurs hold on for dominant win

Wembanyama didn’t score at all in the third quarter, but he didn’t need to. The Spurs, after nearly blowing their lead, erupted on a 13-4 run and pushed the lead to 15 points at its peak in the final minutes of the period. Then, just minutes into the fourth quarter, Wembanyama rolled to the bench, high-fiving everyone after blocking Jerami Grant at the rim without even leaving his feet to set up an easy fast-break layup that put the Spurs up by 21.
