The rookie Steph Castle has 22 points tonight. He’s got 4 points here in crunch time for the Spurs.
Wemby misses the pull-up three, then CP3 offensive foul, and LeBron cut for layup.
Lakers by 3, Spurs ball – 10:01 PM

AD isn’t used to anybody being able to just tip a ball over his head on the offensive glass, and just chuckled as Wemby did so.
Davis responded by hitting a J over Wemby on the other end, and has 20 points on 11 FGA’s to Wemby’s 16 on 14 FGA’s. – 8:31 PM

I’m never opposed to bigs taking 3s if they can shoot, but I’ve been skeptical of HOW Victor Wembanyama has generated his 3s for SAS.
In his 50-pt game this week, I thought SAS did an AWESOME job of getting him better looks through sharp offensive looks. pic.x.com/IbE5gCnAYx – 7:48 PM

More on this storyline
Paul stepped into the NBA record book in emphatic fashion with 8:26 left in the opening quarter by tossing a lob to a cutting Wembanyama for a two-handed jam on an alley-oop, as the Spurs surged ahead 13-4 in their NBA Cup opener. Paul finished with 11 points, 11 assists and 2 steals, but San Antonio remained winless (0-5) since last season in NBA Cup games. “Wow, that’s such a big number,” Wembanyama said of Paul’s 12,000-assists milestone. “It’s hard to imagine how much you need to average for how many years [to get there]. Eventually, every player, we want to see our names up there one day. It’s just incredible.” -via ESPN / November 16, 2024
Paul Garcia: Wemby’s wide open 3PT accuracy ticks up to 43% for the season after last night. 6% difference in his accuracy on catch and shoot 3s compared to pull-up 3s pic.x.com/D8C9jzrXNm -via Twitter @PaulGarciaNBA / November 14, 2024
For his career, Wembanyama has now recorded a 50-point game, a 5×5 game and a 10-block game. Just three other players — Anthony Davis, Hakeem Olajuwon and Robinson — can lay claim to those accomplishments since blocks became an official statistic in 1973-74. It took Wembanyama 83 career games to record his first 50-point game, the fourth-fewest games needed since the NBA/ABA Merger in 1976-77. -via ESPN / November 14, 2024
