Victor Wembanyama drops 30 swats 10 in Spurs domination of Trail Blazers
Yesterday at 09:59 AM
Wemby becomes the youngest player in NBA history to record 30 points and 10 blocks in a single game.
Coming off an OT thriller victory over the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday, the Spurs hosted the Portland Trail Blazers. San Antonio once again started Chris Paul, Devin Vassell, Harrison Barnes, Jeremy Sochan, and Victor Wembanyama. What followed was a near wire-to-wire win with the Spurs winning every quarter. Ultimately, the Spurs won 114-94.
Victor Wembanyama led the Spurs with 30 points, a jaw-dropping 10 blocks, seven rebounds, and three assists. He becomes the sixth player (and youngest) in NBA history to record a game with 30 points and 10 blocks. Is it possible to lock up DPOY by Christmas?
Channeling Timmy D, Wemby comes off the screen and nails the middy off the glass!

Charles Bassey recorded a double-double in 17 minutes of action: 16 points and 12 rebounds. He also added a steal. He recently has become Wemby's backup center after two straight DNP-CD's from Zach Collins and he's making the most of every opportunity.

Keldon Johnson dropped 11 points, two rebounds, an assist, and a block. Anytime there's a clear runway, KJ is going to punish the rim!

This was a great win continuing the momentum gained off the wild win versus the Hawks. Wemby continues to amaze, hinting that he will get that quadruple-double one day. For now, the team must stay on track and remain healthy as they have an east coast road trip coming up.
Finally, here are the full game highlights.
The Spurs take on the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night at 6:00 P.M. (CST) on NBA TV / FDSN-SW.
