3 takeaways from the Spurs’ loss to Golden State:
1, Third quarter blues return.
2, Wemby’s teammates are feeding him well.
3, Chris Paul did Chris Paul things.

In French, Wemby said of Jackson-Davis’ dunk: “Getting dunked on is nothing. It’s part of the game. I dunk on a lot of people and a lot of people dunk on me too. But I think I block more often than I get dunked on, so that’s positive.”

Wemby on getting dunked on by fellow rookie Jackson-Davis: “A lot of guys want to come at me like this hard all game.”
A replay indicated Jackson-Davis committed an offensive foul by grabbing Wemby’s arm. – 11:04 PM

Victor Wembanyama returns after a two-game absence to post a 27-point, 14-rebound double-double, but the Spurs fall 112-102 to Golden State. They were aiming for a home-and-home sweep of the Steph Curry-less Warriors.
Spurs (14-51) host Houston on Tuesday night. – 10:17 PM

Warriors have a rookie second-round pick rejecting Giannis Antetokounmpo twice in one possession last week and flushing over Victor Wembanyama five days later.

The audacity for Wemby to even try this… pic.twitter.com/COOyyZeH03 – 10:16 PM

Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Trayce Jackson-Davis, clearly frustrated by a few mistakes, took it all out on Wemby.
Wow. – 10:14 PM

Alan Hahn @alanhahn
Trace Jackson-Davis just put Wemby on a poster. 😳 – 10:14 PM

Chris Palmer @ChrisPalmerNBA
So interesting that Victor Wembanyama doesn’t dribble the ball at the free throw line. Not sure I’ve seen that before. – 10:11 PM

Pop wasn’t sure before this game whether Victor Wembanyama would be on a minutes restriction (said he needed to check w/medical staff). It’s clear his minutes have been trimmed. Big fella played 14 minutes in the first half. He’d been averaging 31.1 since All-Star break. – 9:12 PM

Wemby got UP for the slam 🔨

It took Victor Wembanyama 5 games to figure out “a 20-point lead is nothing.”
Steve Kerr said there’s “an awareness from everybody that leads are not safe.”
A look at how double-digit leads – 10, 15, 20 points – just aren’t what they used to be.
