The NBA's biggest budding rivalry was on display Wednesday night, as Victor Wembanyama and the San Antonio Spurs took on Chet Holmgren and the Oklahoma City Thunder for the second time this season.
The Western Conference-leading Thunder dismantled the Spurs 140-114, grabbing a 2-0 edge in the season series between these teams. Wembanyama led the team with 24 points, 12 rebounds and 4 blocks. On the other side, Holmgren had 17 points, 9 rebounds and 3 blocks.
Now, midway through their first NBA season, these two are competing head-to-head as front-runners for Rookie of the Year.
