“What got me going was honestly proving myself a point, proving my team a point,” said Wembanyama, who also had 12 rebounds while matching his highest-scoring performance of the season. “I’m not worried about us, I’m not worried about me, against good teams. But history has showed that I need to be worried about us against teams like this. So yeah, we don’t just talk about what we need to do. We need to actually act.”
When Wembanyama coolly dropped in a turnaround fadeaway jumper that gave him 25 points with four minutes still left in the first quarter, it was clear he was in a profound groove.
