The San Antonio Spurs wasted a chance to win a rare game against the Memphis Grizzlies, a team that has been without key players for the majority of the season, when Victor Wembanyama missed what could have been the game-winning fade-away 3-pointer at the buzzer.

The highly regarded prospect thought back on what might have been after the heartbreaking 99-97 loss, but his remorse went beyond the game-winning last-second shot.

Wemby bemoaned to ClutchPoints, “I didn’t seal the deal,” in reference to his team’s early-game lead of almost 20 points.

Even after scoring more than thirty points in three straight games this month and being the top pick in the summer draft, Wembanyama still felt like he had squandered opportunities.

While admitting that his squad was unable to “seal the deal,” Wembanyama emphasized the 17-point lead his team had in the second quarter.

Wemby stated, “I clearly remember a moment in the first half when we were comfortably ahead,” before talking about the missed chance.

“I was struck by this. I came to understand how crucial it is to be intense, no matter who your opponent is. We have to remain as aggressive as possible, whether it’s Giannis [Antetokounmpo] or Joel Embiid in front of us. The Spurs’ top scorer declared, “I wanted to approach the game with the same intensity, and these are mistakes I won’t repeat.”

What else was said by Wemby?
Wemby played with more offensive boldness in the second half. But Memphis had not only closed the gap but also taken the lead by that point.

“Advance. Respond. When asked about that part of the game, he continued, “As much as possible, contribute to the team’s success.” “We needed a response one way or another because their defense wasn’t particularly formidable.”

In response to a question concerning his increased anger, Wembanyama said, “Yeah, I can’t recall the exact sequence, but it’s possible.” “I’ll need to review the game footage.”

The 20-year-old prodigy continued his incredible individual season on Friday with another 31-point outburst. Against the Grizzlies, he also grabbed 16 rebounds, five assists, and three blocks. After the loss to a Grizzlies team without important players like Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart, Brandon Clarke, Luke Kennard, and Derrick Rose, though, he was consumed by his wasted opportunity.

With one second left and down by two points, the Spurs came up with a play where Devin Vassell positioned himself in the corner and Wemby rolled to the block. Jeremy Sochan was unable to locate any choice, though, so a timeout was called in order to avoid a five-second infraction.

“Yes, considering that we had the choice between a two-point and a three-point shot,” Victor Wembanyama responded to ClutchPoints about the play’s layout.

The Spurs ended the season with a 15-55 record when Wemby missed a long-range shot later on.
