Victor Wembanyama sets tone in Game 4 as Spurs even series - via @ESPN App espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

@any1seenmilner @TomerAzarly Tomer is a friend. And I've been here since 2015 my guy.

@mikecwright @TomerAzarly Arrogant prick. You say dumb shit then act like people are dumb for calling you out on your dumb shit. Can you just go back to NOLA?

Shirts (I know it’s late).

De’Aaron Fox said Gregg Popovich addressed team in locker room after its Game 3 loss. Said it was the first time that’s happened.

Wemby's first half buzzer-beater was the longest FG (40 feet) by a Spur in a playoff game since GeniusIQ started tracking in 2014. Entering Game 4, the Spurs were 0-20 FG in the playoffs on shots from 40 feet or longer since 2014, per ESPN Research.

Wemby scored or assisted on 17 points in 1Q.

Victor Wembamyama is now the 2nd player with 300 points, 150 rebounds and 50 blocks in their first career postseason since blocks became official in 1974, per ESPN Research. Wemby joins Bill Walton (1977), who won Finals MVP that season.

OKC went 5:08 without scoring.

Spurs talked about the need to play fast in this one to prevent OKC from setting its defense. So far, so good.

😂That was my bad. Just so used to tweeting "shirts."

@TomerAzarly It was corrected good sir.

@mikecwright Those are towels good sir

As my compadre @BannedMacMahon correctly said: “Towels!”

😂 towels.

Is J-Dub a go?

I know Spurs fans are excited about an important game 4, but take some time today to remember the 21 lives lost at Robb Elementary, the survivors and the families who are still healing. May 24th is the worst day ever for so many families.

The Thunder have dominated the non-Wemby minutes in this series. OKC is +38 with Victor Wembanyama on the bench, while being outscored by 21 with him on the floor. The Thunder have also shot 21% better when Wemby sits, with their average shot attempt coming from 3 feet closer to the basket.

NEW: In the age of analytics, one area has long remained especially elusive. "How do you measure fear?" one Western Conference analytics staffer asks. Enter Victor Wembanyama. Says another analytics staffer: "What he does best is hard to quantify." espn.com/nba/story/_/id…

Back again tomorrow for Game 4 of the Western Conference Finals 🎶🎤🖤🏀

Spurs coach Mitch Johnson says he expects De’Aaron Fox (ankle) and Dylan Harper (adductor) to both play in Game 4.
