Author of a sluggish start to the season, Victor Wembanyama shone against the Utah Jazz, and the Bucks continued to sink by losing to Memphis on Thursday.
Wembanyama bounces back
The day after a failed match against Oklahoma City (6 points), Victor Wembanyama bounced back against the Utah Jazz, deprived of its leader Lauri Markkanen, for a success for the San Antonio Spurs (106-88).
The French phenomenon accumulated 25 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists, 5 steals and 5 blocks, while attempting a lot of three-point shots (4 out of 13), a rare statistic line with more than 5 units in 5 different sectors.
After an average start to the game, “Wemby” pulled off some spectacular actions, between blocks and dunks served by Chris Paul, to offer the Texans a second success this season.
Dallas close to overthrowing Houston
The Dallas Mavericks, NBA finalists in the spring, almost managed to come back from 23 points behind against the Houston Rockets, who ultimately won 108 to 102.
The Rockets were able to count on Jalen Green (23 points, 12 rebounds), facing the star duo of the Mavericks Luka Doncic (29 points) and Kyrie Irving (28 points).
Morant takes down the Bucks
Memphis Grizzlies leader Ja Morant pulled off a festival, especially in the first period, for a big success against the Milwaukee Bucks (122-99).
Morant compiled 26 points, 10 rebounds and 14 assists for a triple double which further stunned Milwaukee, champion in 2021, at the failed start of the season.
Despite Giannis Antetokounmpo (37 points, 11 rebounds), Milwaukee lost a 4th consecutive game, its leader Damian Lillard having another bad evening (4 points to 1 of 12 shooting, 6 assists).
The results of the night:
LA Clippers-Phoenix 119-125
Dallas-Houston 102-108
Utah-Saint Anthony 88-106
Memphis-Milwaukee 122-99
