Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs came close to winning this Thursday against the Milwaukee Bucks (121-125) and left very good feelings with a performance full of highlights from the French player. However, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard saved the visiting victory in the last breath.
One of Wemby’s most outstanding plays came against Antetokounmpo. The Spurs giant showed off with a spectacular ‘block’ that quickly went viral on social networks.
It was the first duel in history between Wembanyama and Antetokounmpo and neither of them disappointed. The number one in the last draft closed the night with 27 points, 9 rebounds and 5 blocks while the Greek scored his fifth game of more than 40 points this season (44 points this time) combined with 14 rebounds and 7 assists.
With 16 seconds left, the Bucks led 121-124. The Spurs had several ‘hot’ players, but the last ball was played by Tre Jones on an open triple from the corner and there.
Milwaukee saved the night by suffering a lot and made up for a game full of errors that gave life to the locals, with the final result of 121-125. It is the first victory in 2024 for the Bucks.
