October 24th: Today in the NBA regular season, the Spurs defeated the Mavericks 125-92 on the road.
In this game, Spurs player Victor Wembanyama played 29 minutes, shooting 15-of-21 from the field, including 1-of-2 from three-point range, and 9-of-11 from the free throw line, finishing with 40 points, 15 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal, and 3 blocks.
Magic Johnson tweeted about his performance:
"Victor Wembanyama is poised for an MVP-caliber season as he's significantly stronger and can withstand physical contact while still putting the ball in the basket—as we saw last night. Victor worked out with NBA Hall of Famer Hakeem Olajuwon this summer, and last night we witnessed the 'Hakeem Effect': he executed his signature dream swing step and hit four consecutive one-legged jumpers, reminiscent of Olajuwon's days."
