NBA World Toasts Victor Wembanyama’s Breakout Game vs. Suns

Spurs rookie Victor Wembanyama enjoyed his best NBA game to date Thursday night, scoring a career-high 38 points on 15-of-26 shooting from the floor with 10 rebounds and two blocks in San Antonio’s 132–121 road win over the Suns.

It wasn’t a perfect outing for San Antonio as a whole. The Spurs led by as many as 27 points before the Suns came all the way back to tie the game at 116. However, Wembanyama came through when his team needed him the most. The Spurs rookie single-handedly outscored the Suns 10–5 in the final 4:15 of regulation to put the game away.

Wembanyama has become must-see TV, and naturally there were plenty of pithy reactions to the rookie’s breakout night by fans and media alike. Here are some of the best social media posts about Wembanyama’s big outing.
