"Wembanyama scored a team-high 39 points for the Spurs in a contest that featured the stars combining for 94 points, the most by opposing No. 1 picks in the modern draft era (1966), according to ESPN Research. "It was fun," Wembanyama said. "Not the most fun, but it was a fun game for sure. And this one is worth a lot because of the way the West looks right now.""
"The 24-year old sizzled in producing a 26-point fourth quarter, the second-highest scoring output in any quarter by a Timberwolves player in the play-by-play era (1997-98), according to ESPN Research. Edwards' 55-point night ranks as the most points this season by a player in a loss. "They've got Wemby," Edwards said. "He's supposed to be the face of the league. So, I've always got to get up for that one. I loved it. I wish we could have just moved everybody out the way and just checked up -- me versus him.""
Victor Wembanyama scored 39 points as the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves 126-123 in San Antonio. Anthony Edwards produced a career-high 55 points, including 26 in the fourth quarter, and nearly led a comeback. The two No. 1 picks combined for 94 points, the most by opposing top picks in the modern draft era (1966). Edwards' 55 points are the highest total this season in a loss. Minnesota rallied from a 25-point deficit, and Wembanyama and Edwards traded baskets in the final minutes as the Spurs held on.
