You don’t only have to score from the field, make assists, block shots, steal balls, or grab rebounds in order to be the best version of yourself on a basketball court: converting free throws at a high percentage rate is on one side no easy task, and on the other is crucial.
That’s why Victor Wembanyama was crucial in San Antonio’s 118-116 road win against the Portland Trail Blazers, being clutch with a 2/2 from the free throw line with 2.1 seconds remaining in the encounter. Overall, he shot perfectly in that aspect: 10/10.
The dominating French center also scored 28 – shooting 8/19 from the field including 2/6 from beyond the arc – with 7 assists and 7 rebounds. Jeremy Sochan, who started next to the Spurs‘ No.1, added 15 points in his team’s victory, which put the franchise at a 13-12 record in the West.
