'Better' Wembanyama scores 27 in second summer league game
LAS VEGAS -- It wasn't the result Victor Wembanyama wanted, but the No. 1 overall pick put on a better performance in his second summer league game Sunday night than his debut.
Wembanyama had 27 points, 12 rebounds and three blocks on 9-of-14 shooting, but it wasn't enough as the San Antonio Spurs couldn't overcome a double-digit deficit in an 85-80 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers.
"I wish we could have won the game," Wembanyama said. "I think I could have done more to help my team win the game. We got to keep learning. We haven't been playing our best for like three quarters. Then in the fourth quarter, we were really dominating. It shows the personality of the team.
