Victor Wembanyama: ‘I block more often than I get dunked on’
Tom Orsborn: In French, Wemby said of Jackson-Davis’ dunk: “Getting dunked on is nothing. It’s part of the game. I dunk on a lot of people and a lot of people dunk on me too. But I think I block more often than I get dunked on, so that’s positive.” Translation courtesy of @BenjaminMoubech

3 takeaways from the Spurs’ loss to Golden State:
1, Third quarter blues return.
2, Wemby’s teammates are feeding him well.
3, Chris Paul did Chris Paul things.

Wemby on getting dunked on by fellow rookie Jackson-Davis: “A lot of guys want to come at me like this hard all game.”
A replay indicated Jackson-Davis committed an offensive foul by grabbing Wemby’s arm. – 11:04 PM

Victor Wembanyama returns after a two-game absence to post a 27-point, 14-rebound double-double, but the Spurs fall 112-102 to Golden State. They were aiming for a home-and-home sweep of the Steph Curry-less Warriors.
Spurs (14-51) host Houston on Tuesday night. – 10:17 PM

Warriors have a rookie second-round pick rejecting Giannis Antetokounmpo twice in one possession last week and flushing over Victor Wembanyama five days later.

Trayce Jackson-Davis, clearly frustrated by a few mistakes, took it all out on Wemby.
Wow. – 10:14 PM

So interesting that Victor Wembanyama doesn’t dribble the ball at the free throw line. Not sure I’ve seen that before. – 10:11 PM

Pop wasn’t sure before this game whether Victor Wembanyama would be on a minutes restriction (said he needed to check w/medical staff). It’s clear his minutes have been trimmed. Big fella played 14 minutes in the first half. He’d been averaging 31.1 since All-Star break. – 9:12 PM

It took Victor Wembanyama 5 games to figure out “a 20-point lead is nothing.”
Steve Kerr said there’s “an awareness from everybody that leads are not safe.”
A look at how double-digit leads – 10, 15, 20 points – just aren’t what they used to be.

Tom Orsborn: Wemby, responding to a question from @_Andrew_Lopez about how much he wants to continue playing until the end of the season, even as the Olympics loom, “It’s no question for me. How much do I want it? As much as I wanted it all season. I have this responsibility towards my team.” -via Twitter @tom_orsborn / March 12, 2024
