The San Antonio Spurs machine is struggling to get going. During the night from Sunday to Monday, Victor Wembanyama’s franchise conceded a seventh defeat in ten games. On their floor, despite an excellent first quarter which gave them a 14-point lead, the Spurs suffered pressure and skill from the Miami Heat (118-113). Clumsy at three points, the Frenchman still finished the game with 18 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists. He nevertheless lost 7 balls.
The address is still fishing for Wemby. Impeccable in defense, where his size and mobility scare all his opponents, he struggles to succeed in his shots. Against the Heat, the former Mets player only scored two of his nine three-point attempts. Opposite, Duncan Robinson was much more successful. The Miami winger made four three-pointers, finishing the game with 26 points. His teammate Bam Adebayo planted 24, precipitating the defeat of the San Antonio Spurs.
Victor Wembanyama was not the only Frenchman on the NBA floors last night. Against the Brooklyn Nets, Bilal Coulibaly produced his first big performance, scoring 20 points in 34 minutes of play. Wemby’s former teammate at the Mets also grabbed 7 rebounds and delivered 3 assists to complete his excellent performance, justifying the confidence from his coach, Wes Unseld Jr. However, this was not enough to beat the Nets, who won thanks to a one-sided first quarter (102-94).
The evening was also historic for Nicolas Batum, who played the 1000th game of his career in the regular season. The Philadelphia winger became the third Frenchman to reach this total, after Tony Parker and Boris Diaw. Only 145 players have played more games in NBA history. To celebrate this incredible longevity, the winger spent 33 minutes on the floor, scoring nine points and grabbing seven rebounds. A performance concluded with a victory, notably due to 50 points from the incredible Tyrese Maxey.
