San Antonio won overwhelmingly against the Clippers last night in the NBA (122-86). A success once again driven by Victor Wembanyama, impressive in recent weeks. The 20-year-old French giant once again put out a high-flying match against James Harden's teammates.
The San Antonio Spurs finished the year with a crushing victory at home against the Los Angeles Clippers (122-86), thanks to another impressive performance from Victor Wembanyama. The French giant completed a memorable December with 27 points, 9 rebounds, 5 assists, 1 steal and 3 blocks in less than 26 minutes on the court. With good marksmanship (55.6%). He scored as many points as the entire Clippers in the first quarter (17 points).
Alongside him, Stephon Castle (15 points) and Keldon Johnson (17 points) were effective coming off the bench. Harrison Barnes scored 11 points, Chris Paul delivered 9 assists. Opposite, James Harden (17 points) and Norman Powell (15 points, five rebounds) struggled to survive in the LA ranks.
The Spurs can dream of the playoffs
Nicolas Batum, the Clippers' French winger, did not score a single point in thirteen minutes spent on the floor. The former captain of the France team also suffered his first defeat against Victor Wembanyama in his career.
The Spurs have a positive record of 17 wins against 16 losses. They occupy ninth place in the West and can dream of the playoffs if they continue their momentum in 2025. Wemby and his partners now have a meeting with Nikola Jokic's Denver Nugget on the night of Friday to Saturday (3 a.m.) .
