Wembanyama Sets NBA Postseason Block Record

Victor Wembanyama made history Monday night, blocking 11 shots in the Spurs’ 115‑106 victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves. The 23‑year‑old set a new NBA postseason single‑game block record, surpassing the 10‑block mark shared by Andrew Bynum, Hakeem Olajuwon and Mark Eaton. The Spurs held a 55‑50 edge after three quarters, with Wembanyama’s blocks stifling Anthony Edwards and Julius Randle. Despite a modest scoring effort, the rookie’s defensive dominance secured a 3‑point lead that held through the final period.

Wembanyama’s performance came early in his playoff career, and the record‑breaking play highlighted the Spurs’ defensive strength as they advance to the Western Conference finals. chickenroad.qpon
