en 14 November 2024 Zach Harper w:The Athletic About Victor Wembanyama’s speedy 50 burger. Plus, the Cavaliers remain perfect! https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5921985/2024/11/14/victor-wembanyama-spurs-cleveland-cavaliers-nba-the-bounce/ Wemby’s 50-point game was much milder, if that’s even a thing statistically.
