Wembanyama finished the game with 29 points and seven rebounds on 9-for-13 shooting. He also converted on three of his six three-point attempts, as his shooting has been improving over the last couple of games. Wembanyama shot nine free throws and made eight of them. He has been playing like a man possessed during the Spurs’ eight-game win streak.

His 29 points in 24 minutes was impressive because it showed how dominant he was. He has been destroying teams in the paint over the eight games. He’s constantly catching lobs and dunking or getting fouled and shooting a lot of free-throws. These are the types of performances that can win him the MVP.

The Spurs are on a roll right now and everything is clicking. They’re also starting to shoot the ball better. San Antonio also isn’t shooting as many threes, instead, they are attacking the paint way more and playing inside out. The Spurs gave so many players that can get to the rim starting with Wembanyama. They are able to throw him lobs that not even other centers can get.

Wembanyama has looked dominant and the Spurs are rolling right now. He has been playing out of his mind. These are the monstrous performances that everyone has wanted to see from him. San Antonio plays the Phoenix Suns next on Monday, we’ll see if Wembanyama can continue his dominance.
