Officially, Indiana will be the home team on the scoreboard when it plays San Antonio in Paris on Thursday. The Pacers know better.
Chris Paul’s basketball IQ is unmatched. Earlier this week, he proved that once again. The San Antonio Spurs point guard was pressuring Zach Edey during a loose-ball moment late in the second quarter of Wednesday’s game against the Memphis Grizzlies.
Spurs stars Victor Wembanyama and Chris Paul gifted their game-worn jerseys to J.J. Redick's sons following a game vs. the Lakers.
Victor Wembanyama finished the win with 23 points, eight rebounds, five assists, three steals and two blocks while shooting 10/17 from the field and 2/6 from the three-point range in 34 minutes of playing time.
On Monday night, the San Antonio Spurs took a 19-point lead in the third quarter against the Chicago Bulls but lost their lead in the final minutes, falling in embarrassing fashion, 114-110. Veteran Chris Paul had one of his better games with the Silver and Black, racking up 15 points to go with nine assists.
Paul frantically got Wembanyama's attention, pulling the center's arm into the fray so Paul was not severely overmatched on the resulting jump. It was a small thing but a pretty clever move and one that isn't often observed.
Victor Wembanyama, Devin Vassell and Stephon Castle each scored 23 as San Antonio overcame an 11-point deficit for a 126-102 victory.
SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs lost to the Miami Heat 128-107. San Antonio was outscored 46-27 in the third en route to the loss versus Miami. Victor Wembanyama finished with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Harrison Barnes had 10, and Chris Paul had 10 and nine assists.
Any play involving Chris Paul is a chance for him to showcase his tremendous basketball feel. That was evident Wednesday night.
Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs will face the Indiana Pacers in the NBA's 4th and 5th regular-season games in Paris.
Rookie Kel’el Ware scored 25 points to match his season high, Duncan Robinson added 21 on 5-of-7 3-shooting and the Miami Heat beat the San Antonio Spurs 128-107 on Sunday.
His teammate Victor Wembanyama and Wednesday night's opponent Zach Edey of the Memphis Grizzlies are on the opposite end of the spectrum as towering 7-foot-5 and 7-foot-4 centers who represent a new-school NBA dominated by length and size.
