Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs managed to get the best of the Atlanta Hawks in a 126-98 victory on the road Friday Dec. 19.
Wembanyama produced a double-double performance, leading the team in points and rebounds, and he did that coming off the Spurs’ bench. In fact, the MVP candidate actually tallied more points than minutes played in the contest.
San Antonio utilized nearly every player on its roster after jumping out to a 24-point halftime lead, allowing the Spurs to limit Wembanyama’s time on the court. But the limited minutes did nothing to slow the big man down.
The Spurs improved to 20-7 and won back-to-back games after coming up short against the New York Knicks in the NBA Cup final.
Here’s the latest on Wembanyama’s performance:
