reminder: Bismack Biyombo, last Bobcat standing, is on the Spurs’ playoff roster RIGHT NOW

Do you know how hard it is for a ROOKIE to be the coolest player on a team that already has Victor Wembanyama, Stephon Castle AND Luke Kornet?

In tonight's Game 5 win, Victor Wembanyama (22yr, 128d) became the 3rd youngest player in NBA history to record 25+ PTS, 15+ REB, and 5+ AST in a postseason game. He trails only: Magic Johnson (20yr, 276d) Luka Dončić (21 yr, 177d) Spurs take a 3-2 series lead in Round 2 🍿

Ayo Dosunmu jokes about what the Timberwolves’ mindset is tonight ahead of Game 5: “We coming out, we sending a message — nah, I’m just playing.” Later added that the Wolves were expecting Victor Wembanyama to not get suspended and play tonight.

"I'm glad he took matters into his own hands." For Victor Wembanyama, "taking matters into his own hands" meant watching most of Game 4 from the Target Center locker room. On a message sent and (the Spurs hope) received heading into a series-swinging Game 5: www.expressnews.com/sports/spurs...

Game 5 between the Spurs and the Timberwolves tip off at 7 p.m. this Tuesday.
