Nikola Jokic didn't have an answer for Wemby this time.
The San Antonio Spurs beat the Denver Nuggets on Friday night, 121-120. The Nuggets, who were in pole position for the top seed in the Western Conference, took an 18-point lead into halftime and were up by as many as 23 in the third quarter, but the Spurs refused to go away. Or, perhaps more accurately, Victor Wembanyama happened.
With the Spurs up 81-60, Wemby went on a tear, scoring a ridiculous 17 points in less than three minutes. Between the 8:05 mark and 5:22 mark in the third quarter, he took six shots and made them all. He made four three-pointers and one free throw. By the time he was done throwing flames, the lead had been cut to single-digits. Just watch this.
