Author of 15 points in the third quarter alone
Thirteenth in the Western Conference before the match (9 wins, 18 losses), the Trail Blazers defended “Wemby” rather well in the first half, preventing him from getting closer to the basket thanks to two-man shots. First in offensive difficulty (11 points at 4/11 shooting at the break), the native of Chesnay (Yvelines) compensated with crazy defensive activity, sickening his opponents one after the other when they got too close to the circle (6 of his 10 blocks took place in the first half). Since that wasn't enough, he regained his offensive efficiency after returning from the locker room, scoring half of his points of the evening in the third quarter alone (15).
