Victor Wembanyama led the San Antonio Spurs to an impressive 132-118 win over the Oklahoma City Thunder in a spectacular rookie showdown.
Wemby flirted with a triple-double as he finished the game with 28 points, 13 rebounds, seven assists, and five blocks, outplaying Chet Holmgren who put up 23 points, seven rebounds, and five assists.
Here’s how NBA Twitter reacted to a rookie clash in San Antonio.
Wemby took that Chet Holmgren matchup personal tonight.

If there is a single Wemby/Chet game not nationally-televised next year, NBA has failed us. They have an *anthology* of battles already, dating back to the Summer. And they’re only rookies. They also match their mutual respect with desire to whoop ass and be king of the monsters.

Wemby don’t like Chet 😂😂 Respect to Chet for trying to dap him up after the game even after Wemby gave him the work… that’s what a real rookie of the year does. Class act. pic.twitter.com/gxTFqAcmns

It’s scary how Wemby might have been the most hyped prospect ever and STILL might be better than people expected lol

Told you Wemby is the real deal.
He will become the Goat.
They limit his playtime to tank, otherwise he would single handedly carry the whole trash Spurs team to the playoffs.
He is averaging insane numbers on like 20 mins lol
He has the mindset as well. Future 🐐 for sure.
