Seven French people were on deck last night in the NBA. Six of them played, two really made an impact, and one really sparkled. Send the recap of the night with Gallic sauce!
NBA night results
Pacôme Dadiet
The Frenchman only returned for three minutes and his team lost. The definition of an evening to forget.
Rayan Rupert
The Frenchman only played six minutes but his team won. The definition of a fun evening.
Tidjane Salaün
6 points 2/3 from the parking lot, all scored in the first half before landing in the front row to subdue LaMelo Ball taking 75 shots.
Moussa Diabaté
Once again starting (31 minutes), he stuffed Giannis Antetokounmpo all evening, took a big rebound off in money time and almost did battle with Brook Lopez. 0 points and 11 rebounds in the end, there's no denying that Moussa Diabaté is gaining ground in Charlotte.
Moussa Diabaté is a tremendous offensive rebounder

Victor Wembanyama
25 points, 7 rebounds, 9 assists, 3 blocks, and a superb victory for the Spurs against the Warriors. A more than successful return for Victor Wembanyama after two missed matches!
Right back to it in his first game back ???? @wemby

Sidy Cissoko
He surely enjoyed the Wemby match, at least we hope so for him.
Armel Traore
He frolicked for three minutes at the very end of the match against the Nuggets, because there was a 25-point difference.
