Wembanyama recorded another impressive stat line following his excellent Game 4 ejection, scoring 27 points, grabbing 17 rebounds, handing out five assists, and swatting three shots in San Antonio’s dominating performance.

He struggled against Minnesota in Game 6, being guarded intensely and scoring 19 points in only 27 minutes. However, he continued his stellar defensive efforts and always seemed ready for Spurs’ fast breaks when they happened often.
Size, smarts, and shooting ability allowed the Spurs guards to overwhelm Wolves, who naturally had issues dealing with the 7-foot-4 star. Castle was a perfect 5-for-7 shooting on 3-pointers and shot an overall 11-for-16, along with Fox making three of his three triples.
Julian Champagnie also made four 3-pointers and tallied 18 points total. The Spurs outscored Wolves by a whopping 97 points through the series and never let their opponents get within double digits.
On Wolves’ side, Anthony Edwards led the way with 24 points, shooting 9-for-26. He received help from Terrence Shannon Jr. (21 points) and Naz Reid (18 points).
Familiar Heartbreak for Wolves
Once again, their switch-heavy defense that kept bothering their players turned out to be too much of a problem for Minnesota. Meanwhile, Julius Randle managed to score just three points, shooting 1-for-8.
For the Wolves fans, the game felt familiar despite their team’s fantastic playoff performances recently.
Last year, during the Western Conference Finals matchup between the two teams, Minnesota found itself trailing by 33 points at halftime in a game they lost by 30 points. In this season’s conference finals, Wolves were behind by 29 points at halftime, losing by 21 in Game 5 to Dallas.
