Wembanyama stars as Spurs sink Nets in OT

Another monster night courtesy of Victor Wembanyama powered the Spurs to a 122-117 overtime win over the Nets in San Antonio.

The Rookie of the Year favourite put up 33 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists and seven blocks on 14-of-26 shooting.

He joins Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the only other player in NBA history to reach those marks in a game.

The 20-year-old also becomes the youngest player in league history to put up 30-15-5-5 in a game.

13 of his 33 points came in the fourth quarter and overtime as the Spurs held on to snap a three-game skid.

He was flanked by Devin Vassell (25 pts, 8 ast, 11/21 FG) and Keldon Johnson (24 pts, 5 reb, 5/8 3P).

The Nets leapt out to a double-digit lead in the first quarter which the Spurs were able to erase early in the second half.

Their edge again grew to double digits in the final frame before the Spurs strung together a 14-4 late to force overtime.

Cam Thomas (31 pts, 5 ast, 12/23 FG) led the way for the Nets along with Dennis Schröder (19 pts, 7 ast) and Day’Ron Sharpe (15 pts, 7/9 FG).

The Nets are back in action on Wednesday against the Pelicans whilst the Spurs host the Mavericks the same day.
