We had a good game.
Victor Weminyama was back.
He played well, guys.
Scored 27 points, 17 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 block shots to lead the Spurs to a 126-97 home win over the Wolves in Game 5 last night.
At 22 years old, Wemby became the third youngest player in NBA history to post that stat line in a playoff game.

The Wolves fought back, but then the Spurs just went on another massive run here.

What a first stint this guy had.
How could you talk about anything else besides Wemby?

I saw him called Upset Vic, and I saw Mitch Johnson called him Mature Vic.
So he got three nicknames because he came out and just absolutely dominated, set the tone from the beginning as if he had been itching to get back on the court since being ejected during game four.

and then maybe some of his best plays came later in the game, like when he's ball faking around Rudy Gobert, spinning the dude around, finding whoever for a bucket underneath, or he finds another pass to the corner around Gobert's back when Gobert was, oddly enough, the help defender on Wemby.
It was posted up, I think, on Ant there at the bottom, but he just did everything.
He completely dominated, and the story of this series has basically been that
