Victor Wembaneyama sentenced to Pelicans deflated at worst moment

We’ve been saying all season that the Pelicans are one of the big underdogs, but we’ve also been warning you that the Western Conference is as wild as ever…so one bad losing streak could change the entire season. No one will be surprised by that.

The New Orleans team has been in a slump, and today’s loss marks their fourth straight loss. A few bad results saw me go from fighting for 4th place to 7th place in no time… and more downs than ups.

The Spurs totaled 34 assists, marking the 42nd game this season with at least 30 assists, a franchise record. “I always knew it was a role for me, but it was difficult because I was young,” Wenbanyama said.

“I’m happy with how we’re developing. You can’t become a complete player unless you help your teammates improve. It would be great if that reflected in the assists.”

However, it wasn’t because of the assist that the Frenchman won the match. Wemby showed once again that he is already one of the best defenders in the NBA, finishing off the victory for the visiting team with a block.

After Graham made two free throws with 10 seconds left, Jones fumbled and Wembaneyama moved to the line and made two free throws, making the score 109-111.
