First victory of the NBA season for the Spurs, 29 points and a big game for Wembanyama

A tense reunion with Brooks

Mid-range fadeaway, three-point step-back, finish at the circle… Victor Wembanyama continued his show after the break, notably scoring a winning shot at the buzzer at the end of the third quarter. This first match against Houston was also a reunion with Canadian fullback Dillon Brooks (28), whom Wembanyama and the French team had beaten this summer in the quarter-finals of the Olympic Games. Tensions rose between the two men in the second half, separated by their teammates as they competed for the ball on the ground.
