The problem with typing a magic performance at 50 points is that it risks trivializing what happens next. That’s a bit what we said to ourselves this Saturday morning when we discovered the images of Victor Wembanyama’s night, against the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday (115-120). 28 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, all that is very cute, but we were so excited on Wednesday during the victory (139-130) against Washington (50 points at 8/16 at three points in 32 minutes)…

If the 20-year-old and 2.24 year old was still able to show his full technical range on Friday, we can add three downsides: his three-point skill this time was doubtful (4/13), he did not provoke the less free throw for the first time this season, and he still lost five balls.
And above all, the tantalizing duel of big men ultimately tilted in favor of Anthony Davis, author of a colossal project at the Frost Bank Center in San Antonio (40 points and 12 rebounds), with the added bonus of victory (115-120). The inevitable “King” LeBron James took over to close the affair with a lay-up decisive 25 seconds from time. The Lakers star thus finished with a 4th consecutive triple double (15 points, 16 rebounds, 12 assists), a first in his immense career of 22 seasons. We can only wish the same for our “Wemby”.
