On Thursday night, I finally got to see Victor Wembanyama, and although he had a pedestrian game by his own standards-12 points, eight rebounds, no threes-it was still a riveting experience. The game, a 126-110 San Antonio win, was moments of Wembanyama doing something, or trying to do something, interrupted by some bullshit I wasn't there to see.
Anthony Edwards, who was returning to the site of the All-Star game, where he was selected the MVP, was 12 of 24 from the floor and sealed the victory with a step-back three-pointer over two defenders for a 92-88 lead with 42.9 seconds left.
Marvin Bagley III scored 22 points, Naji Marshall had 21 and the Dallas Mavericks beat the Brooklyn Nets 123-114 on Tuesday night after both teams arrived in New York earlier in the day. Both clubs played road games on Sunday and neither was able to fly into the New York area because of a blizzard.
