Wembanyama dropped 40 and 13 in just 26 minutes — the fastest 40/10/5 game in NBA history.
Victor Wembanyama continues to rewrite the record books at a pace that would be terrifying if it wasn't so mesmerizing. On Friday, the 21-year-old dropped 40 points and 13 rebounds in just 26 minutes against the Mavericks — the fastest 40/10/5 game in NBA history. The Spurs won 139-120, and it wasn't even that close.
San Antonio has now won 14 of their last 15 games, and Wembanyama is the biggest reason why. When a 7-foot-4 player can score 40 in 26 minutes, you're not watching a basketball player — you're watching a cheat code. The Mavs had no answer, and honestly, who does?
The Spurs are peaking at exactly the right time heading into the playoffs. With Wembanyama playing like this, San Antonio has gone from a fun young team to a legitimate title contender. The scariest part? He's only in his second year.
