An eventful night for the French in the NBA. In the race for the playoffs in the West, Nicolas Batum's Clippers were able to grab an important victory in Texas, at the home of Victor Wembanyama's Spurs (128-116). Wemby almost came to blows with LA pivot Ivica Zubac!
For pushing him, His opponent apologized after the match"I thought he had made the first mistake and I reacted badly," Zubac said. Victor Wembanyama, he finished the game with 23 points and 12 rebounds in 35 minutes. Which did not prevent his team from losing. With 20 wins and 24 losses, San Antonio remains 12th in the West.
4 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist for Rudy Gobert. The 2'16" center didn't have his usual performance in the Wolves' victory over Kevin Durant's Suns. But Anthony Edwards' 33 points and Julius Randle's 28 allowed Minnesota to get an important victory in Phoenix.
Not the most visible offensively but terribly useful defensively, the Frenchman still made the move of the match, with a powerful dunk. Enjoy.
