A rather pleasant night for our French in the NBA, a good contrast to the rather gloomy last evening. Alexandre Sarr and Victor Wembanyama were particularly delighted. Come on, it's time for the blue-white-red recap.
Bilal Coulibaly
Bilal Coulibaly struggled against the Bulls. 8 points, 3 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal at 3/11 shooting.
Alexandre Sarr
EH! There it is, the beautiful tricolor evening of the night! We love Victor Wembanyama, but Alexandre Sarr has just scored 20 points, 7 rebounds, 3 assists, 1 interception, 1 block at 7/11 shooting including 4/5 at 3-points, against the Bulls. A first for him with such a 3-point success. Too bad for the defeat, it's the performance that counts and this one is very nice. It must continue from now on!

Are we going to normalize the fact that a pivot makes 6 3-point shots per night? Yes, thanks to this genius that is Victor Wembanyama. After his 25 points against the Warriors, the Spurs pivot continued against Utah with 34 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 interception, 3 blocks at 13/23 shooting including 6/14 at 3-points. We made a dedicated article about it, all you have to do is click on its blaz.

Rudy Gobert
Rudy Gobert offered a solid match: a monstrous counter on the face of Alperen Sengun to force overtime, not bad to make up for an individual error on the previous possession, which could have been decisive for the Wolves. In total: 5 points, 16 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 block on 2/3 shooting.
