It was an epic duel between two top 10 players in the NBA in a pivotal playoff bout Friday night at Target Center.
In the end, the Spurs’ star shined a bit brighter.
Victor Wembanyama buried one difficult jumper after another, capping a 37-point, 15-rebound performance that led the Spurs to a 115-108 victory in Game 3 to take a 2-1 series advantage. The big man scored 16 points in the fourth quarter alone.
Game 4 is Sunday at Target Center.
Anthony Edwards was also sensational for much of the night. He finished with 32 points, 14 rebounds and six assists in 40 minutes in what was perhaps his best performance of these playoffs.
But he struggled to free himself from the Spurs defense in the second half, which prevented him from taking over the game offensively down the stretch as Minnesota struggled to string together buckets.
The Wolves shot 38% from the field on the night.
