NBA, Victor Wembanyama joins very small club
Third player in history to have more than one 5×5 game
On the night, the San Antonio Spurs took on the Utah Jazz 106-88. A game that certified, if ever it was needed, the talent of Victor Wembanyama. The Spurs'all-star è starred in an extraordinary 5×5 game (the second in his career).
The phenomenal Frenchman put up 25 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 steals and 5 stoppages, thus managing to reach five in each of the five categories. This is the second time in his short career that he has succeeded in this feat (he had already succeeded against the Los Angeles Lakers in February 2024).
Thanks to the exploit against the Jazz, Victor Wembanyama è became the third player ever to have more than one game with a 5×5. He è joined two NBA giants like Hakeem Olajuwon (six) and Andrei Kirilenko (three). "It's something that has to happen to me more continuously, so that I can help the team", his words reported by ESPN.
Other contests played on the night. Milwaukee lost, sharply, to Memphis (122-99). Great performance by Morant who finished with a triple double: 26 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds. Good Houston that rules Dallas (108-102 the final). Phoenix also smiles as it gets rid of the LA Clippers (125-119).
