• Spurs' Victor Wembanyama: Nets 29 points with full line

  1D ago • By RotoWire

  Wembanyama finished with 29 points (11-21 FG, 2-6 3Pt, 5-8 FT), nine rebounds, two assists, two steals and four blocks over 40 minutes during Friday's 105-104 Game 2 loss to the Knicks in the NBA Finals. It was a tale of two halves for Wembanyama, who was held to just seven points in the first half before erupting for 22 after the break. However, he also committed a team-high four turnovers, and the last one proved costly, as an errant pass ricocheted off Stephon Castle's back with 9.5 seconds remaining in regulation. Still, the Spurs had a chance to pull out the win, but Wembanyama's 20-foot jumper clanked off the rim at the buzzer. The Spurs are now facing a 0-2 deficit with the series heading to New York for Game 3 on Monday.

He was named the MVP of the Western Conference Finals after averaging 27.3 points, 10.9 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 2.7 blocks, 1.4 steals and 2.3 threes over 37.7 minutes per game.
