Victor Wembanyama made it “must-see TV” on his first visit to Hollywood this season.
Wembanyama showed his hops with an impressive windmill in a rousing 126-102 San Antonio Spurs’ beatdown of the Los Angeles Lakers that ended a three-game losing skid, Tuesday, January 14.
The reigning Rookie of the Year finished with 23 points, eight rebounds, and five dimes while Devin Vassell and Stephon Castle also posted 20-point outings in a much-needed Spurs’ (18-19) win. Chris Paul also recorded a 13-point, 10-assist double-double.
Anthony Davis put up 30 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for the Lakers, who retired five-time champion Michael Cooper’s no. 21 jersey at halftime. LA now dropped to 20-17 with behind a second straight loss.
The Lakers next host the surging Miami Heat (20-17) while the Spurs face the Grizzlies (25-15) in a home-and-home set.
