"A dominant Victor Wembanyama powered the San Antonio Spurs to a 115-108 win over Minnesota and a 2-1 lead in their NBA playoff series, as the red-hot New York Knicks beat Philadelphia again for a 3-0 advantage."
"French superstar Wembanyama took a tight, tense and physical game out of the Timberwolves' grasp with a stunning fourth-quarter offensive, scoring 16 points. The 7-foot-4 prodigy, playing his first NBA postseason, finished the night in Minneapolis with 39 points overall, plus 15 rebounds and five blocks."
"I'm built for this. I love this more than anything else, said Wembanyama. He added: We got the talent. We got the depth. We don't got the experience, but we don't care We can go to the very top if we play like tonight consistently."
"The Timberwolves started dismally, missing their first 12 field goal attempts. Wembanyama shone defensively, with two big early blocks setting the tone, and forcing Minnesota to score from outside the paint. The Timberwolves fought back, and the game was tied 51-51 at halftime."
