San Antonio SpursPortland Trail BlazersVictor Wembanyama
During his first postseason NBA game ever, Victor Wembanyama led the San Antonio Spurs to defeat the Portland Trail Blazers. It looked beautiful, too. The Spurs provided free promotional giveaway t-shirts to fans with three colors of their classic fiesta logo, like their City Edition uniforms, provided for different sections. Here is what Wembanyama noticed when he looked into the crowd for his first postseason appearance, per Tom Orsborn (*via Express News*):
“It’s great to see this many people wear their shirts,” Wembanyama said after pumping in 35 points in 33 minutes before the brightly adorned sellout crowd of 19,372. With a beautiful court and gorgeous uniforms, the crowd participation was the icing on the cake for a perfect playoff game. This may be the best court / uniform/ crowd combination in the history of sport. I can’t think of anything close. pic.twitter.com/LytVcqbQVr

This Spurs crowd is absolutely incredible pic.twitter.com/pOBzs1zh2p
