Victor Wembanyama played a pivotal role in securing the San Antonio Spurs’ first victory in his NBA career, delivering crucial plays towards the end of the game.

Despite his satisfaction with the final moments, Wembanyama acknowledges the need for improvement right from the start to elevate his overall performance.

“All my life, I have preferred the end of the (game) because I feel better. But I have to do better before. It is one of my areas of improvement: play hard from the start,” Wembanyama said.

The top pick of the draft concluded the game with an impressive stat line of 21 points, 12 rebounds, three steals, and three blocks.

Wembanyama’s shooting performance was marked by going 7-of-19 from the field, and unfortunately, he missed all six of his three-point attempts.
