After a controversial Game 4 ejection, Victor Wembanyama responded with a historic masterpiece; Yankee Scores reports…

Wembanyama gave another stellar performance with 27 points, 17 rebounds, five assists, and three blocks, helping San Antonio beat Minnesota 126-97 to take a 3-2 lead in the series.

Wembanyama Joins Magic and Luka in Playoff History

At 22 years old, Wembanyama is the third-youngest NBA player to have such a stat line in playoffs, behind Magic Johnson (20) and Luka Dončić (21).

“I was fresh, feeling good,” Wembanyama said. “Honestly, it’s hard to tell. It was just Game 5. Obviously, I’m going to be excited (and) to have butterflies. So, excitement is not something abnormal at this point in the playoffs.”

Spurs Resilience: Overcoming Physicality to Secure Game 5

Anthony Edwards scored 20 for Wolves in the second half, along with Julius Randle and Jaden McDaniels contributing 17 points each.

Wembanyama returned after being ejected in the second quarter during Minnesota’s 114-109 win against San Antonio on Sunday. The flagrant ejection was due to elbowing Naz Reid in the throat.

Physical play continued throughout the game as Naz Reid got a technical foul for shoving Wembanyama in the back during a free throw with 2:24 remaining in the first half.

Besides, Keldon Johnson added 21 points, De’Aaron Fox scored 18, and Stephon Castle chipped in 17, helping San Antonio get one win away from advancing to the Western Conference finals, where they will face either Oklahoma City.

“I felt like, to start the game, we knew it was going to be physical,” Castle said. “So, just making that a point of emphasis and trying to keep them off the offensive glass. I feel like we started the game off well and that’s where our runs came from. But obviously they’re a good team. They’re going to go on their own run. So, just try not to hang our head when that does happen and be able to respond and spark another run for ourselves.”

However, the technical foul motivated Wembanyama, although it wasn’t really necessary because he was performing exceptionally in the first quarter, where he scored 18 points and went 6-for-8 from the field and 2-for-3 on threes.

“I think it’s super important for us the way we start the game, because it sets the tone,” Wembanyama said, “Now the challenge is to do it for 48 minutes.”
