A second defeat in a row against Memphis. Weighed down by a catastrophic end to the third quarter, the San Antonio Spurs lost Friday night in the NBA for the second time in three days at home against the Memphis Grizzlies (140-112).
The Spurs will be in Paris on Thursday
Victor Wembanyama failed to change the course of the game, despite 19 points, 12 rebounds, 3 assists and 6 blocks. Next Thursday, the Frenchman and his teammates will meet in Paris, for a match against the Indiana Pacers. The same poster will also be played on Saturday at the Accor Arena in Bercy.
In the match against Memphis, the Spurs collapsed inexplicably and without reaction from the bench in the last three minutes of the third quarter, losing 40 to 22, before completely sinking afterwards. The Grizzlies, however, played without their leader Ja Morant, who was injured in an ankle. Santi Aldama took over with his record 29 points (8 rebounds).
-Before this tour in Paris, the Spurs still have one match to play against the Miami Heats on Sunday evening. After serving a five-game suspension for “inappropriate conduct”, Jimmy Butler returned to the court on Friday night but Miami lost to Denver '133-113), driven by a new triple-double from Nikola Jokic ( 24 points, 12 rebounds, 10 assists).
