All eyes were on the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 132-118 loss to the San Antonio Spurs on Thursday. Despite it not being on national television, it was the best of the three matchups between the two teams this season.
Wembanyama — the probable Rookie of the Year winner — finished with 28 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists and five blocks. He is the first player in NBA history with 10 rebounds, five assists, five blocks, and five 3-pointers in a game.
The rookie phenom single-handily closed out the Spurs’ 12th win with a pair of deep 3-pointers and blocking Holmgren’s jumper.
Holmgren had 23 points on 8-of-12 shooting, seven rebounds, five assists and one block. Both players squared off on several possessions throughout the game.
