Wembanyama popped off for 27 points (9-16 FG, 2-5 3Pt, 7-9 FT), 17 rebounds, five assists and three blocks over 33 minutes during Tuesday's 126-97 Game 5 win over the Timberwolves in the Western Conference Semifinals.
Wembanyama was locked in from the jump, notching a 20-point, 10-rebound double-double by halftime, which put him in the same company as Tim Duncan and David Robinson as the only Spurs with a 20/10 double-double in a half of a playoff game. The Spurs will look to close out the series in Game 6 in Minnesota on Friday.
