Victor Wembanyama accounted for 12 points (5-of-11 FGs, 2-of-3 FTs), 12 rebounds, six assists, one steal and two blocks in Friday’s win over the Warriors.

The final stat line may not show it, but Wembanyama was dominant in his 21 minutes. As has been the case on many occasions, the Warriors had little interest in challenging the Spurs’ center in the paint. Offensively, he took a back seat to Stephon Castle, who dropped in a season-high 32 points. The Spurs built a large enough lead to rest Wembanyama for the entire fourth quarter, which usually doesn’t happen in NBA Cup games since point differential is a tiebreaker. San Antonio won by 38, and it would have been worse if Wemby and the other starters had played more.
