Victor Wembanyama sets playoff blocks record

In the Spurs’ 112-107 win over the Timberwolves, Wembanyama posted 11 blocks, eclipsing the previous playoff record of 10.

Victor Wembanyama made a historic defensive stand on Monday night to kick off the Western Conference semifinals. Wembanyama set the NBA’s single-game postseason blocks record on Monday night in the Spurs’ Game 1 matchup with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He had 10 blocks through three quarters at the Frost Bank Center, which is something that only three others had done in league history. He then came up with an 11th block to break the record minutes into the fourth quarter, stuffing Anthony Edwards at the rim. biznow.biz
