Victor Wembanyama’s Historic 12-Block Night Shattered Records — But Was It Enough to Silence the Timberwolves?
Then just minutes into the fourth quarter, Wembanyama blocked Edwards at the rim for his 11th block to set the record. That set up a layup from De’Aaron Fox on the other end, too, which put the Spurs up by three at the time.
But that block sparked something in the Timberwolves. They rattled off a 14-2 burst, capped by a Mike Conley 3-pointer from the corner, to suddenly grab a nine-point lead — their largest of the game up until that point. The Spurs, and Wembanyama, looked flustered.
Julian Champagnie had a good look at a game-winner, but he was just off the mark. The Timberwolves, even with a Wembanyama that was nearly impossible to get around, escaped with the two-point win.
