Victor Wembanyama sets historic record: San Antonio spurs secure resounding triumph
The night of Thursday, December 28, will forever be etched in the NBA’s history books, thanks to the young French prodigy Victor Wembanyama, who established an exceptional record by leading the San Antonio Spurs to a resounding victory. Facing off against the Portland Trail Blazers, Wembanyama made history with a remarkable performance in the first 30 minutes of the game, putting an end to his team’s five-game losing streak.
The 19-year-old center shone on the NBA court, delivering an outstanding performance in just 24 minutes of play.
With an impressive total of 30 points and 6 rebounds, Wembanyama orchestrated San Antonio’s convincing victory with a final score of 118-105.
His impeccable accuracy, making 9 baskets out of 14 attempts, including 2 three-pointers out of 4, and a flawless free-throw record (10 out of 10), played a crucial role in his team’s triumph.
But that’s not all. In addition to his offensive exploits, the number one draft pick erected a defensive wall with 7 blocks and contributed with 6 assists, making this game truly memorable.
Victor Wembanyama not only set a new record by becoming the first player to achieve a 30-point, 7-block game in under 30 minutes but also made history as the second rookie in the league to accomplish the feat of 30 points, 5 rebounds, 5 assists, and 7 blocks in a single game.
A feat previously achieved by Spurs legend David Robinson in 1990, but at the age of 24.
