Spurs and Bucks win
Rain of points! Wemby and Giannis show in NBA
NBA aces Giannis Antetokounmpo and Victor Wembanyama impressed with high-scoring performances in their games on Wednesday (local time). Antetokounmpo scored 59 points to help the Milwaukee Bucks turn an 18-point deficit at home against the Detroit Pistons into a 127-120 victory after overtime. Young star Wembanyama achieved a career-best performance in the San Antonio Spurs' 139-130 home win over the Washington Wizards.
Antetokounmpo had only scored more NBA points once before, last season with 64 points against the Indiana Pacers. He went over the 50-point mark for the ninth time in total. Despite the exceptional performance, the evening almost ended in defeat for the 29-year-old after a foul was whistled against him at 111:111. The Pistons missed both of the free throws they were awarded, meaning the game went into overtime.
Wemby in top form
The 2.24-metre-long Wembanyama also outshone everyone in terms of athleticism. At the age of 20 years and 314 days, the Frenchman is the fourth-youngest player to score 50 points in a match in the world's best league. In March, he scored 40 points against the New York Knicks.
LeBron James scored 35 points in the Los Angeles Lakers' 128:123 home win over the Memphis Grizzlies. The 39-year-old also managed his third triple-double in a row with 14 assists and 12 rebounds.
