A triple-double with the counters, Victor Wembanyama (2.24 m, 20 years old) has already achieved it once in his career, last February. For the second time, you have to wait a little longer, even if it came very close last night.
On the eve of Election Day in the United States, all thirty NBA franchises were on the floor last night. No match will in fact be played this Tuesday, November 5. The last match before this 24-hour break pitted the teams of two Frenchmen: the Spurs of Wembanyama against the Clippers of Nicolas Batum (2.03 m, 35 years old). Last season, the Los Angeles franchise won all three matches against the Texans. The latter therefore wanted to be revengeful. At the start of the match, they managed to shut out the crowd at the brand new Intuit Dome – and its famous “Wall” of fans – by inflicting a 40-14 in the first quarter. Wembanyama had until then remained discreet in attack because he was focused on protecting his hoop. But as the match progressed, he had to redouble his efforts to keep his team afloat as it was coming up. Without success in the end.
