The Spurs’ 133-126 victory was another example of Victor Wembanyama showing fans that sometimes gratification can come quickly.
Vic tor Wembanyama could have taken his time. He’d been taunted, insulted, disrespected. Once he climbed back onto his size-20.5 feet, he could have filed all of that away, put it on a slow burn in the back of his mind, and waited for the perfect moment to serve his retribution on De’Andre Hunter and the Atlanta Hawks cold. Instead, the Spurs ’ skinny, polite second-year center chose immediate vengeance. And his feistiest teammate wasn’t surprised one bit.
Spurs aim to keep good times and good health rolling Now, though, that outlook has changed. Yes, the Spurs entered Saturday’s game against Portland in 11th place in the Western Conference, which would land them outside the last play-in spot. But with most of the West still a jumble, the Spurs’ 14-13 record placed them only one game behind sixth-place Denver, and three behind fourth-place Dallas. A play-in – or playoff – run is not unthinkable.
